Greetings Red Cross Youth!
Although summer is coming to a close for some of us, it’s important that we all remain on top of our game as Red Cross youth volunteers. Even though we may not have gone to Haiti or volunteered in Texas when Hurricane Alex hit, there are a lot of things we can do with our local chapters that would prepare us for various disasters and emergencies.

Greetings Red Crossers! The American Red Cross National Youth Council hopes that your Fourth of July was fantastic.
As some of us celebrated our nation’s independence with fireworks and wearing red, white, and blue, others raised the flags of hope and progress as they remember another day that will be forever embedded in our world’s history.
Today marks the 6 Month Anniversary of the 7.0M earthquake striking Haiti, displacing approximately 1.5 million people and affecting over 2 million.
