    Description

    Learn about the Shelter Volunteer role with the American Red Cross in an upcoming info session!

    Do you want to make a meaningful impact when your community needs it most?

    Join us for a Virtual Information Session to discover what it’s like to serve as a Shelter Associate—one of the essential volunteers who provide comfort, safety, and support to individuals and families displaced by disasters.

    What You’ll Learn

    During this session, you’ll get a clear look at:

    • The key responsibilities of Shelter Associates during disaster responses
    • How volunteers help create a safe, welcoming environment for clients
    • Training requirements, scheduling options, and how to get started
    • The real difference Shelter Associates make in their local communities

    Hear From a Current Shelter Volunteer

    You’ll also hear directly from an experienced Shelter volunteer who will share:

    • First‑hand stories from real disaster deployments
    • What it’s like to work in a team‑focused, fast‑paced environment
    • Practical tips for new volunteers

    This is a great opportunity to ask questions and understand what it truly means to be part of the team that offers comfort and stability on someone’s hardest day.
