Join the Red Cross team by donating your time and talents. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the American Red Cross. Volunteers serve at all levels of the organization, from disaster relief, providing health and safety instruction to coordinating casework, performing clerical tasks, and greeting people at the front desk.
The Chapter has volunteers reflecting all ages, range of incomes and the diverse community. Our volunteer positions are in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia, Torrance, and Socorro Counties making it possible for the Red Cross to touch the lives of thousands of individuals in need in your community.
You may never work harder or get dirtier or get paid less ---- But it will be the best job you never got paid to do.
