American Red Cross of Central Florida 

What Youth Can Do

Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said that we cannot always build the future for our children...but we can build our children for the future. In that spirit, the Teen Corps program of the American Red Cross of Central Florida is playing a major role in preparing our young people for the future through programs that emphasize education, leadership and volunteerism.

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 goal is to provide young people with meaningful opportunities for education, training, and volunteer/community service so that they remain a part of the Red Cross family throughout their lives. Young people up to age 24 make up 40 percent of all Red Cross volunteers.

Who can tell me more?
