Training

When a new volunteer joins the Communications Team, there are three classes we ask you to take to get a better understand of the Red Cross and our role in the organization.

Public Affairs Essentials This course is a basic level, web-based course that provides a general overview for Red Cross volunteers and employees who may have contact with traditional media or use social engagement sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Social Basics This is a web-based course that should take approximately one hour to complete. You will get an overview of the American Red Cross social engagement philosophy and learn some practical tips on how you can be a Red Crosser in the digital space.

Disaster Cycle Services: An Overview This course is the first in the Disaster Cycle Services course curriculum. It provides an overview of how DCS fulfills the Red Cross mission and describes the whole cycle process of helping individuals, families and communities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. The course also reviews the role of community and government partners and describes opportunities for volunteers in DCS.
