Reconnect Families Separated by War and Crises

As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, the American Red Cross alleviates the suffering of victims of war, disaster and other international crises.

Locally, the American Red Cross of Colorado provides tracing and messaging services for families separated by disaster, armed conflict, civil unrest or changing world conditions. Our chapter also provides services in family tracing for the survivors of WWII-related events such as the Holocaust.

As a volunteer with the International Social Services program, you will assist with tracing and communication services to those separated from family members due to war, civil unrest, or natural disaster. You may also assist with Holocaust Tracing Program.
