The American Red Cross is recruiting volunteers for the Tahoe-Truckee area. There are openings for Disaster Action Team members, instructors, outreach, special events, fund development, public affairs and leadership positions.

The Capital Region Chapter responded to more than 400 local disasters throughout our 11 county area last year, providing emergency shelter, food, clothing and supplies. Each year local Red Cross instructors certify nearly 60,000 people in CPR/AED, first aid, water safety, lifeguard training and disaster preparedness classes.

To begin training and join our local American Red Cross team, contact Lynn Felsch, Emergency Service Coordinator at (530) 391.8234 felschl@sacsierraredcross.org.
