Did you know that The American Junior Red Cross has been operating in conjunction with The American Red Cross since 1917, and that young people aged up to 24 years represent over a third of all American Red Cross members?
There are many ways in which members of The American Junior Red Cross are making a difference in our communities. A small number of these are listed below.
· Young people are trained to become involved in many areas of The American Red Cross Disaster Services, such as community disaster preparation, and disaster response through involvement in The American Red Cross disaster action teams and youth disaster corps.
· Junior American Red Cross members actively participate in leadership roles through their membership of clubs, councils, and local committees. They also attend leadership development camps and play a role in national advisory groups of The American Red Cross.
· American Junior Red Cross members are actively encouraged to take part in health and safety education classes. By learning CPR, first aid, and water safety, young people are well placed to serve as instructors and lifeguards.
· American Junior Red Cross members are able to donate blood from the age of 17. However their participation in donation programs does not end there. They provide help with blood donation drives in a variety of ways such as recruiting donors, arranging appointments, and serving refreshments.
· Members of The American Junior Red Cross organize fund raising programs through their schools, and teach school children about disaster preparedness.
A great example how schools have helped The American Red Cross comes from the Western Illinois Chapter who report that eight classes from Neilson School raised $264.23 to go towards disaster services provided by the Western Illinois Chapter.
You can make your own contribution by donating a used vehicle to The American Red Cross, such as a car or even a boat on a trailer. The vehicle you donate does not even need to be running. The profits from the resale of the vehicle will help to ensure that the vital work of this charity continues.
