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 your new club registered with ASB
2. Contact Volunteer Resources at volunteer@sdarc.org to learn how the Red Cross can support your new club!
3. Have booth at Club Rush, Freshman Orientation Days and Volunteer Fairs on campus
4. Create a club website, hang posters and pass out flyers advertising the first club meeting
5. Hold meeting – plan fun service activities, keep members interested, active and involved!
