Why Volunteer With Us?

There's no better time than now to join the team of Canadian Red Cross Volunteers.
In an average year, we help more than 130,000 Canadians. Globally, we reach more than 6 million people. The number of people who need our help is big and growing. Our mission is simple: to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found.
And to do that in communities across Canada, we need your help.
Regardless of where or how you volunteer, you're helping people in a time of crisis. I get a whole lot more out of it than what I put in.
