To volunteer at a military hospital, please follow these two steps in order:

1. Contact the hospital directly to see if there are any openings. Please do not complete any other steps until you have been assigned to a specific opportunity at the hospital.
Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton: (760) 725-3303; Red Cross Volunteer Coordination team
NMCSD - Balboa: (619) 532-5040; Amy Ash, Balboa Volunteer Coordinator

2. Sign up for Red Cross Orientation.

Note: If you are only interested in volunteering at one of the hospitals, please do not enroll for Orientation until you have worked with hospital staff to identify an open position. Enrolling before a position has been identified will delay your volunteer service.

After you attend Orientation and complete all Red Cross paperwork (available only at Orientation), we will refer you back to the hospital for the remainder of the new volunteer steps.

Thank you in advance for your patience with this process!
