Volunteer Opportunities

The Prairiewinds Chapter of the American Red Cross does not just depend on its volunteers; it exists because of them. Our volunteers work together, bonded by a commitment to help others in need.

We work in the communities providing relief to victims of disasters in need due to a house fire, storm or other natural disasters, and we help people prevent, prepare, and respond to emergencies. You help to make our promise a reality.

Disaster response isn't all we do. There are many ways you can help us save lives. Get involved!

Disaster Volunteer
Prairiewinds Chapter volunteers provide food, clothing, shelter, counseling, and medical assistance to families in need. Help your neighbors. We train you to know what to do.

Health & Safety Instructor
More than 75% of cardiac arrests occur with family and friends looking on. Together, we can save a life. Become a certified American Red Cross Instructor in CPR, First aid, and other courses. We train you to save a life, and to teach others to do the same.

Community Outreach
Represent the Red Cross at community and corporate health fairs. Be a part of the Speaker's Bureau or become a trained media spokesperson. Provide valuable information to help make a safer community. We train you to provide vital information that makes a difference.
