    Description

    Your Lens. Our Mission. Help Tell the Red Cross Story!

    Red Cross Volunteer Photographer/Visual Story Teller.

    Capture Moments. Tell Stories. Make an Impact. Join the Communications Team and help bring the mission of the American Red Cross to life! In this role, you’ll use your photography and videography skills to showcase the incredible work of the Red Cross—whether responding to disasters or supporting communities in everyday moments. This is a hands-on opportunity to create powerful visuals that inspire action and highlight hope, while participating in in-person activities and working within Red Cross facilities. Your work will help share stories that matter and connect people to the heart of our mission.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Bring Stories to Life: Collaborate with Communications Leadership to identify and capture powerful storytelling opportunities.
    • Capture Impactful Moments: Photograph and film events, trainings, and disaster responses in alignment with Red Cross brand standards.
    • Showcase Humanity and Hope: Create compelling visuals—portraits, candid shots, and scenes that reflect resilience and service.
    • Turn Content into Stories: Edit, caption, and upload photos and videos promptly for use across social media and communication channels.
    • Honor Dignity and Trust: Treat all clients, volunteers, and partners with respect and secure photo releases before sharing content.
    • Deliver Complete Visual Packages: Organize and provide captions, quotes, and releases for internal and external storytelling needs.
    • Focus on Stories That Matter: Partner with the communications team to identify daily visual opportunities that highlight impact and inspire action.
    • Capture the Heart of the Mission: Deploy where the story unfolds to document authentic, mission-driven moments that inform and engage.
