Helping to Build Safer Communities.
Each year the American Red Cross Teaches lifesaving skills to nearly 12 million people. It's only possible with the help of dedicated people like you. Your willingness to devote a little of your time helps us make the world a safer place.
American Red Cross Instructors are part of a select group of individuals who emody the standards and ideals of the Red Cross.
