Did you know that youth and young adults make up a third of the American Red Cross volunteer work force?  That's right, a third of all American Red Cross volunteers are age 25 and younger.

We believe that young people can make a difference in their community and the world and we shouldn't have to wait until we get older to get involved.  The American Red Cross agrees with us.

At the Red Cross we can be involved in important work such as disaster education and response; health and safety training; supporting military families; collecting blood for hospitalized patients; raising funds for critical programs and much more. We invite you to join us.  If you are between the ages of 12 and 18 and want to get involved and help others, Club Red is the place for you. Membership is free and you can start making a difference today.

The Red Cross offers a lot for youth and young adults including:

Opportunities for Service:

• Internships for high school & college students

• Access to scholarships & youth conferences

• Great experience for college applications & resumes

• Mentoring & advice

• Training in disaster response, CPR, 1st Aid, Babysitter skills etc...

• The opportunity to be involved on a global scale

• Portability - Wherever you go you will be able to find a Red Cross unit to get involved with
