American Red Cross
Do you want to give back to your community? Do you want something impressive to put on your resume?? Become a Red Cross volunteer!!! There are different levels of volunteering that you can participate in. You can teach elementary students Basic First Aid, help with blood drives, teach elementary students about being prepared in disasters, or volunteer with other community activities. The second level would be to become a First Aid Responder. As a First Aid Responder, you would be able to participate in the First Aid Stations at all UNL sporting events, all Lied Center events and numerous other activities around the city. To become a First Aid Responder, there are two classes that are necessary and these classes are free of charge if you are a registered volunteer for the American Red Cross. Not only does volunteering with the Red Cross count for service learning hours at the college, but as a reward for volunteering for 20 or more hours, you will earn a prestigious American Red Cross pin. This pin will be awarded once you have obtained your RN license. What a great way to help others in need and get something back in return.
