We can provide relief to victims of disasters, organize fundraisers, mentor high school and college volunteers, teach lifesaving training courses and serve on boards of directors. And in exchange, the Red Cross offers us valuable networking and skill-building professional development opportunities, opening doors to new people and leadership positions.
The American Red Cross National Young Professionals Council (NYPC) builds the capacity of the American Red Cross by engaging and supporting volunteers and donors between the ages of 25-35. The group is led by young professional volunteers and staff members and local young professional Red Cross leaders and regional members, as well as subject matter experts in disaster management, fundraising, humanitarian initiatives, volunteer engagement and youth marketing. The Council leverages the work experience and broad skill sets of young professionals in order to further the mission of the American Red Cross.
