Red Cross volunteer opportunities offer youth and young adults meaningful options for leadership development and community service. Join your fellow Southeastern Pennsylvania youth volunteers who already learn, serve, and support our communities while gaining valuable life-long skills! We empower you to respond to the community's needs locally, nationally, and internationally through leadership, education, and mission-driven community service.
Leading and participating in high-school and college-based Red Cross Clubs is the best way for youth and young adults to volunteer with the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Red Cross Clubs plan and lead activities like hosting blood drives, holding fundraisers, collecting donations for the Red Cross House, and more. Clubs are formed and run by students!
The American Red Cross’s International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Youth Action Campaign empowers youth and young adults ages 13-24 to learn about international humanitarian law—the body of law that governs armed conflict. Young people volunteer to educate the American public on IHL by exploring topics with their communities through peer-to-peer education campaigns. Youth teams participate in an IHL training, during which they learn how to build their own educational campaigns and conduct in-person and social media activities to promote awareness around IHL.
