Whether you are looking to continue your Red Cross service from high school, or interested in the Red Cross as a new service opportunity, a collegiate Red Cross Club is a great way to get involved.
Red Cross Clubs
As a Red Cross Club you will engage with key national and international issues. You might help to alleviate the chronic blood shortage in America by hosting a blood drive, work to fight measles in Africa or respond to local or national disasters. A Red Cross Club allows you to address important issues in incredibly creative ways that make sense for your community.

Become a Field Ambassador!
The Field Ambassador program is a program during the school year for outstanding high school Red Cross volunteers who want to take their Red Cross volunteerism to the next level.
With only 1 Field Ambassador per region, these volunteers serve as liaisons between their local region and the National Youth Council, promoting monthly national initiatives and working closely with local chapters and clubs to develop youth programs. For more information, visit the Field Ambassador home page.

Making the Transition: High School to College
Many youth who participate in high school Red Cross Clubs go on to college and continue to serve the Red Cross and its mission. The National Youth Council is here to provide resources that we have found to be useful when transitioning from high school to college. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
