People know they can rely on the American Red Cross to be there for them when disaster strikes. We meet their immediate emergency needs for food, clothing, shelter, emotional support and medical services with the help of trained volunteers -people like you- who fill a variety of specific roles. New volunteers are always needed. Specialized opportunities exist for licensed mental health professionals, nurses and other health professionals. Volunteer hours are flexible.

Training is available in shelter management, feeding operations, client casework, driving emergency vehicles, working with other emergency response agencies to coordinate relief efforts, keeping records, recruiting staff and setting up technological equipment for relief operations.

Learn how you can become a local disaster volunteer and register for disaster training (please note that you must become a registered Red Cross volunteer before you can take any Disaster Training classes).

Broward County Volunteer Training is held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month.  Please RSVP by contacting Rigo Molina at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
