American Red Cross of Central Florida


	Youth and the American Red Cross Have Been Partners for More Than a Century. As early as 1884, six children in Philadelphia put on a play and raised 50 dollars for Red Cross disaster relief – a lot of money back then! Clara Barton, our founder, used the money to help a family who lost everything they owned in a flood. Today, young people like you continue to make a difference in their communities through the Red Cross. And like a good partner, the Red Cross continues to help young people. How does our partnership work? Through Educational Programs Red Cross youth programs are offered in most central Florida school systems and through church and community groups. They teach kindergartners through seniors how to make safe, healthy choices; save lives with first aid and CPR; even develop job skills for babysitting and lifeguarding. Red Cross Youth Programs Red Cross youth programs teach children in all grade levels how to lead safer, healthier lives. Elementary School Programs Middle School Programs High School Programs Teen Corps Through Volunteer Opportunities The Teen Corps gives young people a chance to apply their leadership skills and make a difference through community service. Besides learning the value of helping others, volunteering gives you a chance to make friends, build self-confidence and feel good about yourself.
