Serving people in America and around the world requires a diverse group of employees ready to meet the challenge. Cultural sensitivity is key to how we operate with the public, and we want to ensure our employees reflect a rich diversity. Through external relationships and internal initiatives, we seek to achieve diversity in our workforce, partners and suppliers.
The Red Cross supports a variety of cultural groups for employees and volunteers. From our Latino Resource Group, Umoja, Asian American & Pacific Islanders, and Red Cross Pride, to the Ability Network, Veterans+ and our Women’s Resource Group, these networks provide connections, mentoring and help give voice to important concerns and opinions.

It’s not what we say, rather, what others say about the Red Cross that’s important. We are honored to know DEI leaders and watchers recognize our efforts to advance diversity, equity and inclusion.
