Once I join, where can I be deployed?

When you first become a full member of HOPE, your local Red Cross chapter will be notified and you will have to join that chapter as a volunteer if you are not one already.

At this point, you can be deployed in your local Red Cross chapter and usually in state.

In order to volunteer outside your state, you must obtain your DSHR qualifications. See "What is the Red Cross DHSR?" for more info. Once you are in the DSHR system, you can be deployed anywhere in the US.
