Youth, Young Adults and Internships

Youth and Young Adults

The American Red Cross of the Louisiana Region youth program provides youth and young adults with opportunities to learn and serve while supporting the Red Cross mission. Our goal is to provide youth with meaningful opportunities for training, leadership, and community service.

We empower youth to respond to community needs locally, nationally, and internationally through numerous leadership, education, and community service opportunities:

  • Red Cross Clubs
  • Youth Classes
  • Youth Instructors
  • Internship Program

Red Cross Clubs

Red Cross Clubs are officially recognized organizations on school campuses led by middle school, high school, and college students. Club members serve their community through service, education, and leadership as volunteers of the American Red Cross. Red Cross Clubs participate in activities that align with the Red Cross’s humanitarian mission by holding regular service projects and leadership training throughout the school year to benefit members and their community.

All Red Cross clubs work with the support and guidance of their local Chapter and collaborate with other clubs to plan and execute service projects and fundraising events. Club service projects follow the Red Cross’s five lines of service.
