New benefit exclusive to ARCAN members

Red Cross Make 'Until Help Arrives' training free through June 3

The Red Cross has generously gifted an online first aid and CPR training to ARCAN, allowing us to offer a new benefit to our members through June 3, 2026!!

Their Until Help Arrives course, developed in collaboration with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), is a non-certification online course and provides basic, yet critical key actions that can be taken during a life-threatening emergency that can help sustain or save a life until EMS arrives.

Members can access the course (via RedCross.org) by following the step-by-step instructions and coupon code provided. The coupon code is a membership benefit and not intended to be transferable.

It's a Great Time to Join ARCAN

If you aren't yet a member of ARCAN, this is a great time to join since you can become a member for $30/yr AND participate in the Until Help Arrives training – a $40 value.

We value our Red Cross experiences and believe we all can achieve more by staying connected. Your participation is the strength of ARCAN. We can't wait to see what you'll bring to and gain from the community.

BECOME A MEMBER

ARCAN is independent from the American Red Cross but it is our Red Cross experiences that connect us. Our vision is to unite around the ideals, the humanitarian mission and all the other things we value most about being a part of the Red Cross: the service, the global perspective, the learning and most of all, the people. Membership is open to former and current American Red Cross employees and volunteers.
