The Red Cross Youth Program consists of high school and college clubs across the Greater New York area that offer students meaningful community service opportunities and develop valuable leadership skills. Members build strong character, communication abilities, and service skills while engaging directly with people in need. By interacting with their community, Red Cross youth volunteers establish a sense of awareness and personal achievement while developing these skills. As they grow within the organization, youth are encouraged to take on greater responsibility and become long-term members of the American Red Cross community.
All Red Cross Clubs must be Registered with the American Red Cross Youth Services and all members, leaders and advisors through the Volunteer Connection platform.
Please see the list below of actively recognized Red Cross Clubs in the Greater New York Region. To apply to your school’s club, please click the hyperlinked name and fill out your application (it only takes 3-5 minutes to complete)!

Please read through this Guidance Summary prior to starting this process.
PSA: Youth requiring completion of community service hours for class, honor society, religious requirement or probation are requested to contact our office so we can determine the appropriate projects and supervised time available to satisfy the community service requirement. We will do our best to work with your schedule and requirements, but recognize at times we may not be the most appropriate match to serve your needs.
