American Red Cross

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

Along with the new mission and vision statements, we also want to lay out the values that are essential to our continued success: compassionate, collaborative, creative, credible and committed.

These values are not new to the Red Cross, but this gives us a common language and foundation to grow on. The values drive how we accomplish our goals and conduct ourselves to execute and achieve our Strategic Journey.

Compassionate: We are dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve and to treating each other with care and respect.
Collaborative: We work together as One Red Cross family, in partnership with other organizations, and always embrace diversity and inclusiveness.
Creative: We seek new ideas, are open to change and always look for better ways to serve those in need.
Credible: We act with integrity, are transparent guardians of the public trust and honor our promises.
Committed: We hold ourselves accountable for defining and meeting clear objectives, delivering on our mission and carefully stewarding our donor funds.

Note: There are multiple sites for students to volunteer at.
