Volunteer Connection
Volunteers can use the app to register for shifts, update contact information, submit hours, and other tasks typically managed in Volunteer Connection, the organization's volunteer management system. Now, all of which can be done with the tip and swipe of a finger!
Over 200,000 American Red Cross volunteers help ensure the organization prevents and alleviates human suffering every day. Many respond to disasters, teach life-saving skills to their communities, or support ongoing activities with their skills and talents.
The new mobile app will allow existing American Red Cross volunteers to become more engaged with the organization, helping enhance the overall volunteer experience with the organization. Note: This app is for General Volunteers only at this time. Youth and Prospective Volunteers will not have access to the app, until further notice or until their intake process with their respective region is complete.
If you are not a registered volunteer and interested in becoming involved with the American Red Cross, please visit www.redcross.org today!

The app is not working. I've set up my volunteer connection profile, volunteered and completed my shift but the Volunteer Connection App still does not recognize my email or phone. Upon opening the app for the first time, I entered my email/ phone number. After entering my email/ phone number, the screen displays the following: "Address/ Phone number not found in any authorized directory. " Due to this error message, I am unable to use the app.
I do recommend Volunteer Connection (VC) even though it is the ONLY platform for American Red Cross (RC) Volunteers & Staff. It works well enough. However, (lost 1 star) PLEASE make the Search a true search of the entire VC rather than solely a Regional RC Contacts Search. Overall, well done. Just wish it was a bit more intuitive & user friendly.
Useful, but constant server synchronization error notifications. Those are not useful, just distracti g, seems like should be quietly logged for debugging.
Mandatory...ibeacon? Mandatory.....Bluetooth? Come on Red Cross what's really going on here. Love volunteering....but I value my ability to be seen not heard. Similar analogy.... bit that's me.
New phone hard to get in as the confirmation code disappears before I had the time to copy it down. Took 5 tries to get it done.
I forgot my password for edge ,new phone every time I hit for got password it just goes to a page showing the apps for fb, Twitter, and Instagram and just freezes, Help!
Since the last update, I keep getting server synchronization errors every few hours.
Being an active volunteer I'm concerned your app not supported by more OS platforms. Worked on Pixel2 but not 6🤨😷
Keeps having sync errors. One of the better apps used.
I get the same error as Via P noted. Not in an authorized directory. Using Android.
This app is very handy for me that way once I leave the scene I can add my work hours then.i love this app .
when I try to download this app....it stops at 94 percent. any idea why it stops at that percentage?
wont verify account. once it says no account recognizes it says get help and directs me to the webpage where I am logged in...
Why this app requests a permission access to my photos and all files on my device?
Half of the stuff doesn't work and app developer doesn't respond to feedback questions and problems
This app will just redirect you to a frustrating web interface on your browser.
Failed App, it is a shame that it does not work as intended.
was not able to log in hours

Keeps me in touch with my Group! Thanks.

Nearly every time I attempt to open this app. It gives me an error & then I have to uninstall & try again. It may open once or twice afterwards then repeat!!
