Welcome to the American Red Cross Alumni Network where Red Cross colleagues come together to CONNECT and network, ENGAGE in shared interests, and INSPIRE others through service and giving. Join us as we celebrate our successes, champion challenges, and channel the energy of lasting connections to make a difference for good.
"I joined ARCAN to keep in touch with the people, but also with the Red Cross mission. I tell my friends who are former Red Cross colleagues that the Red Cross has an amazing work force, and experts in a lot of different things. I recommend that people work continually to maintain their professional network, which I like to think of as my work community. Ask for help from others but offer it back if you can.”
