Red Squad is a chosen group of full-time student volunteers who are responsible for informing Fanshawe students about FSU services, events and activities, engaging with the student body, and connecting people to each other in the Fanshawe community. Red Squad Volunteers require high initiative and enthusiasm with students, the ability to engage and communicate with everybody, and must be willing to maintain professional and personal growth within the program and the College.

Red Squad volunteers that participate in 10 or more pre-approved hours will qualify to add to their Co-Curricular Record (CCR). For more information on how to create and add to your CCR, visit our Co-Curricular Record page.
