THE MISSION OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers, that provides relief to victims of disaster and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. It does this through services that are consistent with the congressional charter and the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and the Red Crescent Movement
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS & RED CRESCENT MOVEMENT
• HUMANITY -- The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.
• IMPARTIALITY -- It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
• NEUTRALITY -- In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
• INDEPENDENCE -- The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement.
• VOLUNTARY SERVICE -- It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
• UNITY -- There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.
• UNIVERSALITY -- The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
OUR SHARED VALUES
Affirming our commitment to the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, we pledge ourselves to these Values:
• HUMANITARIANISM -- We exist to serve others in need, independently and without discrimination, providing relief for victims of disasters and helping people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
• STEWARDSHIP -- We act responsibly, effectively, and efficiently with resources entrusted to us, always seeking to improve.
• HELPING OTHERS -- We are attentive and responsive to those we serve, always listening to their needs and looking for ways to serve through existing or new initiatives.
• RESPECT -- We acknowledge, respect, and support the rights and diversity of each person in our organization and in the communities we serve.
• VOLUNTARY SPIRIT -- We, as a family of donors, volunteers, and staff, search for ways to provide hope to those we serve while demonstrating compassion, generosity, and appreciation.
• CONTINUOUS LEARNING -- We seek, collectively and individually, to identify, obtain, and maintain competencies and the awareness required for exceptional service.
• INTEGRITY -- We act with honesty, demonstrate courage and accountability under pressure
