The American Red Cross Youth and Young Adult Services is a multi-faceted program for youth up to 24 years of age, offering many activities and courses for every age level.
Youth programs build character and provide the tools and experience youth need for leadership, strong communication skills, and service. By interacting with those in need, Red Cross youth volunteers establish a sense of awareness and personal achievement while developing these skills.

We encourage youth to participate in our health and safety courses, disaster services, international programs, and service projects. All of our service projects are free for the community and are offered to reach a wide range of ages and populations in the area. Our programs are supported by the community for the community.
