Volunteers are the heart of the Canadian Red Cross and the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement. The work of the Red Cross is only made possible because thousands of volunteers willingly give their time to help vulnerable people. Volunteer activities vary by area and need. Red Cross International does not recruit for international volunteering. Contact Red Cross International for more information.
