Join fellow Yalies and other members of the community to install free smoke alarms and share safety information in this at-risk community. As volunteers, we first will get an orientation and training by the Red Cross over a continental breakfast. Then we will work in small groups--under the aegis of the Red Cross--to visit homes, install smoke alarms, and provide home fire safety education to residents.
In any case we will be providing a valuable service to the community and helping to save lives--while volunteering alongside other Yalies and community members. Families welcome! Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Did you know home fires claim seven lives every day--or thousands of lives per year? Having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half!
Note: The link provided will direct you to a login page where you can create a volunteer account on the ARC's portal or sign in if you already have an account.
