The American Red Cross provides the premier environment for youth and
young adults to learn, practice and exemplify humanitarian values. The
Youth Programs mission is to support the American Red Cross through
various activities that help prevent, prepare for, and respond to
emergencies. The Youth workforce carries out service projects in our
community to help save and rebuild lives, as well as gain valuable
leadership and job skills needed during and after their school careers.
Build long lasting friendships while leaving lasting
impressions with the people who need you most in your community. As a
Red Cross youth volunteer you can organize other teens and young adults
in your community by forming a Red Cross club to support national and
international Red Cross programs, coordinate a blood drive program, or
become part of the OTC disaster response team. What ever you decide to
do, there is something for you!
You can receive valuable training in First Aid, CPR, babysitting,
lifeguarding, preparing for a disaster, swimming and water safety. Since
the founding of the Junior Red Cross in 1917, youth and the Red Cross
have been partners. Get involved with the American Red Cross Youth
Services and find out how you can help!
