The Other Thing I Do at Red Cross

In my last post I explained what I do as a disaster caseworker, but I also work in a different department half of the time. I help with the corporate contracts that Red Cross does. Red Cross offers First Aid, CPR and various other safety courses. Companies can either have a Red Cross instructor come out and teach the course or they can choose to have a member of their staff become an Authorized Provider. An Authorized Provider can teach others the same classes. I probably will write about this area less because, as you can see, it's a little bit boring to talk about.

However, it is kind of interesting to see how many different services Red Cross provides. It's a huge organization that helps people in so many ways. I think I should also point out that Red Cross wouldn't exist without the help of volunteers. I believe Red Cross is made up of 97% volunteers, which is really amazing. People work really hard without getting paid and it's really amazing to see. I have been here since January and I don't want to leave. It's great to be at an organization that really wants to help people.
