Bis375 - The agency that I sought out after was The American Red Cross of the greater Chicago land area. I spoke with Debby Hopwood the director of emergency services in the district. We spoke on Wednesday May 2nd. She has been apart of the American Red Cross for several years.
Bis 375 - The American Red Cross has helped thousands of people over the years. The areas that the American Red Cross focuses on are health and safety training, emergency services and supporting of the Armed Forces their families, as well as disaster preparedness and relief help. The Red Cross will provide shelter, food and medical services to those that are in needed. They help individuals and families to get back to their normal daily life as how it was before disaster or unforeseen circumstances happened. Emergency workers are also taken care of with food, water and shelter if needed. This branch of the organization focuses on all of the surrounding counties of the Chicago land area. They also assist other states and or counties not in their district if help is needed. They also provide CPR and first aid training for not just employees but for companies for their employees. Or even just for citizens that are looking to get certified. Bshs 332
The agency does have requirements on which they accept to intern with them and how many interns they accept a year. They allow internships for high school seniors and college age students. Depending on what area of help the high school student is hoping to achieve one day depends on what position they will receive. College age students are put into positions that are focused on the kind of majors they are working towards. The Red Cross wants to make sure that students/interns are being put into a field that brings them the most interest and learning experience. They have to be enrolled in school either a graduate or undergraduate program. Bshs332
