The Red Cross club's goal is to help prevent suffering during emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The Red Cross club provides the youth with the opportunity to serve the community alongside their friends. The club empowers students with the knowledge to save lives and help to respond to emergencies. Through workers from the Red Cross, training and certification courses can be offered, such as first aid and CPR. In the past we have hosted events such as informational presentations with guest speakers from the Red Cross, fundraisers for children in third-world countries, and card-making events for veterans during different holidays.
