My Mom works for the Red Cross in Savannah, GA. I bet when you think of the Red Cross you think of 3 things…..Blood Drives, Juice and Cookies!
The Red Cross is so much more!
American Red Cross first aid, CPR and AED programs are designed to give you the confidence to respond in an emergency situation with skills that can save a life.
Additional training in bloodborne pathogens, oxygen administration and injury prevention can be added to CPR and first aid training to prepare you to prevent and respond to life-threatening emergencies.
American Red Cross caregiving programs help people develop the skills and knowledge to care for themselves and others.
The award-winning Masters of Disaster® disaster preparedness curriculum teaches children how to prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters and other emergencies. The goal is to empower youth with the confidence and knowledge to prepare for disasters and help create a culture of preparedness. The lessons are non-threatening, age appropriate and adhere to national education standards.
The American Red Cross educates people on how to stop the transmission of HIV, encourages people to respond in informed ways to people who have HIV, and helps people apply the facts about HIV to their own behavior. These goals are accomplished through our easy to use educational programs designed to reach a variety of audiences
The American Red Cross has been the leader in swimming and lifeguarding since 1914. Now the winning tradition continues with an exciting new collection of courses designed to make learning easier and to help you benefit from the latest research on instructional techniques.
Lifeguard training and first aid certificates are valid for three years (CPR certificates for one year) from completion date.
There are also ways to get involved with Volunteering! I hope you will take some time and check out the Red Cross site and see all that they offer. The Red Cross assists many families after disasters in our communities. I think a lot of people really have no idea what they really do there. Check out RedCross.org for more information.
