RED CROSS CLUBS
American Red Cross school clubs are school-based service groups that help the Red Cross fulfill its humanitarian mission of: preparing for, preventing, and responding to emergencies. Working closely with our local Chapter and a school Advisor, club members participate in Red Cross service projects that help their schools, their communities, and the world.
The San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter believes YOUTH have the potential to make a difference in huge ways. In our eyes, they are a vital resource bringing energy, innovation, and inspiration to the American Red Cross.
How to start a successful Red Cross Club in 5 easy steps:
1. Secure an adult Advisor, then get club registered with ASB
2. Contact Amanda Cropper, Youth Outreach Associate at 858-309-1475 to see how the Red Cross can support your new club!
3. Have booth at Club Rush, Freshman Orientation Days and Volunteer Fairs
4. Hang posters and pass out flyers advertising the first club meeting
5. Hold meeting – plan fun service activities, keep members interested and involved!
* Club Officers must attend Youth Council meetings on the first Thursday every two months. Next meeting: Thursday, Nov 5 at 4 PM.
