Be Red Cross Ready Online Training
If you are under the age of 17 then let us offer you a warm welcome. This section is for you!
Background: 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 success depends on the compassion and dedication of the next generation. Therefore, our goal is to provide young people with meaningful opportunities for education, training, and volunteer/community service so that they remain part of the Red Cross family throughout their lives.
Opportunities:
Disaster Services: Young people are trained to become involved in many areas of Red Cross Disaster Services, including community disaster education, disaster preparation in their local community, and disaster response through Red Cross disaster action teams and youth disaster corps.
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.
Health and Safety Services: In Red Cross HIV/AIDS education, first aid, CPR, aquatics, and water safety classes, young people are being educated about leading healthier, safer lives as well as being trained to serve as instructors, lifeguards, and peer educators.
