Youth Services 

Since the founding of the Junior Red Cross in 1917, youth and the Red Cross have been partners. Today, the involvement of young people with the Red Cross is more important than ever. Our goal is to provide young people with meaningful opportunities for education, training, and volunteer/community service so that they remain a part of the Red Cross family throughout their lives.

School-Related Activities
Fund raising, organizing blood drives, providing international assistance, and learning about such things as disaster preparedness education.

International Services
Young people learn about other cultures by assembling Red Cross school chests and by learning about international humanitarian law and its implications worldwide.

Community Services
Mission related community activities can include organizing blood drives, and serving as mentors to peers and younger youth on Red Cross and youth-related issues.

Leadership Development
Participating in clubs, councils, and local boards as well as in leadership development camps or centers and on national Red Cross advisory and policy-making groups.

Educators...Sponsor a Red Cross Club in YOUR SCHOOL
American Red Cross school clubs are school-based service groups that help the Red Cross fulfill its humanitarian mission. Working closely with the Grand Canyon Chapter of the American Red Cross, club members participate in Red Cross service projects that impact our communities and the world. Student members will discover many new opportunities for self-development and be encouraged to choose activities that will most effectively fulfill their community's greatest need.
