Youth are often referred to as the leaders of tomorrow, but the reality is they are leading now.
Youth volunteers receive life-saving training in First Aid and CPR and Disaster Services. Youth volunteers may also take advantage of numerous leadership classes including Presentation Skills, Putting Your Best Foot Forward, Team Building and Cultural Diversity.
- Participate in our Summer Volunteer Program and work in a hospital, library, child enrichment program or with other human service agencies.
- Join the Red Cross Youth Board and plan service projects and training opportunities in the community.
- Teach your peers and younger students about basic first aid, water safety, and disaster preparedness.
- American Red Cross Leadership Training allows students to put their leadership skills into action and build confidence in their abilities.

The American Red Cross of Augusta offers many volunteer opportunities for middle and high school students. Through the Summer Volunteer Program, students work at the Red Cross office, in hospitals, nursing homes, libraries and community centers. They meet new people, learn new skills, find new challenges and improve our community!
Red Cross also has a group of volunteers who do service projects throughout the community. Youth Board members do leadership training for younger kids, hold parties for the Gracewood State School and nursing homes, work with children in foster care and many other things which make our community a better place! Youth Board members are selected each year, at the beginning of the year.
