Communication trainers

Through communication, people learn about the assistance available to them, and new volunteers find their way into Red Cross activities. As a communications trainer, you play an important role in strengthening communications within branches.

Volunteer communication trainers support the branches in their district with communications-related issues and provide communications training to other volunteers. Currently, the communications training offered to volunteers consists of two modules: Basics of branch communications and Social media use in branches.

Communication trainers receive ready-made material for delivering the trainings. The training materials are available in the Red Cross material bank. Access to the trainers' materials is restricted to volunteer trainers who have completed the Red Cross trainer training. New trainers receive access rights to the material bank and to their own trainer pathway when registering for the trainer training.
