Youth programs play a major role in preparing our young people for the future emphasizing education, leadership and volunteerism. That's why we're committed to doing whatever it takes to encourage you to make our community a better place. Whether you need hours for school or planning ahead for college, we have after-school and weekend projects that provide fun and valuable community-minded opportunities.
GLOW Red is an IN-PERSON four-day, three-night leadership camp where a diverse group of high school-age youth (in grades 9-11 as of June 2023) gather together to develop character and leadership skills.
GLOW Red creates an environment that builds leadership in youth beyond the traditional norm of lectures and workshops by utilizing fun, interactive, and innovative activities to encourage youth leaders to not only foster new relationships, but to also embark on a journey of self-discovery.
We cover the basics of fundamental leadership through individual and group activities to stress the importance of communication, problem solving, and decision making. In addition, delegates learn to understand different leadership styles, group dynamics, and most importantly, building trust in your team.
One of GLOW Red’s major focuses is leadership development. Our summer camp allows youth to explore their personal development through social engagement through a variety of special events such as educational learning labs, facilitated workshops, and a talent show. In just a short four days and three nights, the bonds that are formed at GLOW Red are incredibly special and impactful.
Beyond self-exploration, we also provide youth a gateway into learning more about the American Red Cross Mission and Lines of Service: disaster preparedness, Red Cross service delivery, Hands-Only CPR, and numerous volunteer opportunities.
At GLOW Red, we prioritize GROWTH. We are Growing Leaders of the World!
