Youth and Young Adult Program

Why should YOU join the American Red Cross?

The purpose of the Youth and Young Adult Program is to train youth in the spirit of volunteerism by exposing them to the mission and the fundamental principles of the American Red Cross.  All across the United States, American Red Cross volunteers help save lives – providing assistance to disaster victims, facilitating emergency communications to military families, training communities in life-saving skills, and providing community disaster education.  By joining the American Red Cross staff, YOU can be part of this international effort to provide emergency aid to those who have been afflicted with disasters, as well as help the community prepare for and respond to disasters!  Our goal is that involvement in the Youth and Young Adult Program will spark a lifelong commitment to serving our communities.
