Why should YOU join the American Red Cross?
Red Cross Youth learn the spirit of volunteerism through exposure tp 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, YOU can be part of our critical work in helping our communities prepare for and respond to disasters. Volunteering is fun at all ages. Involvement as a Red Cross Youth can spark a lifelong commitment to serving our communities.
