It’s been a real honor to have been able to spend so much of my life volunteering for the American Red Cross, Not only has it enabled me to feel like I’m truly serving my community in a meaningful manner, but I have gained more from the organization than I can ever repay. When I first joined (many years ago), they sent me to Youth Leadership Training Camps/Centers and gave me increasing responsibilities over the years. They taught me teamwork and respect while giving me the chance to see for myself just how our work impacted others. I hope I can continue to be of service for at least a few more years to come.
