Cruz Roja
What is Cruz Roja?
This program will hold its final meeting of the semester on Dec. 7th at 7:00 pm. They will resume in January of 2022.
The American Red Cross Hispanic Outreach Program (Cruz Roja) has the goal to teach, prepare and assist the Hispanic community in the face of emergencies and disasters.
Volunteer Commitments: We meet 1-3 hours every week (program meetings, community service, and disaster training). Volunteer meetings are held Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:00pm, with additional classes scheduled throughout the month at various times.

Experiences
Serving with the Hispanic Outreach program with the Red Cross has been one of the highlights of my college career. Through volunteering with the program I learned first aid techniques and how to perform Hands Only CPR. I felt my abilities with the Spanish language improved dramatically while serving with this program. I really enjoyed working with the Latino Community of Utah County. It is really satisfying working with such a wonderful population, performing service that will make the community a safer place. Joining Cruz Roja was one of the best decisions I have made.
