Are you a Jr. or Sr.high school student interested in helping others and making your community a better place to live? Start or join an American Red Cross club at your school. Red Cross clubs are a team effort, where Red Cross units and youth work together to make their communities and the world a better place and where young people develop leadership skills. A Red Cross club is sponsored by a mentor, usually a teacher from your school or a leader in your community. If you do not have a club in your area, you may want to approach someone you think is the right person for the task and see if he or she will help you get started. The different types of clubs that you could form are listed below.
