Agency: American Red Cross

Description: Want to get involved with one of the American Red Cross's largest and most exciting community events of the year? Then volunteer for the annual CPR Saturday!

For those who have not heard of this event, CPR Saturday is a yearly community event in which the American Red Cross offers free Adult CPR certification and training to the public. In order to successfully pull off this event, we need the help of about 500 people. That's where you come in!

As a volunteer for CPR Saturday, you will have the opportunity to help with the following areas: registration, testing, re-testing, certification, logistics, security, food, and set-up/take-down. While you're there, you can also go through the training to receive free Adult CPR certification.

Volunteers are needed from 5:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be three shifts: 5:45 a.m. to Noon; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., or all day.

Did I mention volunteers will get free breakfast, lunch, and a CPR Saturday T-shirt? Hope to see you there!
