After filling out of the application form online, wait for an invitation to be sent in your email address and know your schedule of orientation. You will be required to attend the Basic Volunteer Orientation Course (BVOC). Other requirements include:
a. PRC membership known as Membership with Accident Assistance Benefit (MAAB)

c. Copy of Resume
d. 2x2 ID picture

No. We don't give allowances as it will defeat the spirit of volunteerism.

Certificates are given to volunteers who have passed regular Red Cross trainings (e.g. first aid). A Certificate of Volunteering can also be issued upon request and based on performance and attendance. We are requiring minimum of 300 hours of volunteering rendered to acquire certificate of volunteerism.

PRC National Headquarters is located at 37 EDSA corner Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City. You may call the Volunteer Service at (02)790 2300 local 945. We can also refer you to our Chapters nearest you.

We have youth programs involving school-based Red Cross Youth volunteers in elementary, high school and college and young professionals in the community. We do not have a maximum age limit in place. As long as you are physically and mentally healthy, and willing to serve, you are welcome.

Time commitment depends on your availability or the requirements of Red Cross services of your interest. Most of our volunteers at the Chapter level work on a regular basis weekly or monthly. Further information will be discussed during the orientation.

E-mail us at volunteer@redcross.org.ph at least a month before your target date of arrival so we can prepare a program for you. Also include your interest, your budget for your stay, curriculum vitae and flight itinerary.
If you are a Red Cross volunteer in your own country, we require you to have an endorsement or certification from your local Red Cross chapter or branch.
