About the program
High school and college students can join an existing Red Cross Club or start one at their school. Applicants complete an online application, and Red Cross Volunteer Services staff follow up to match them with a role and provide training.
Club members do service and educational projects that benefit their school and community. Positions available vary by location and local need.

Making the most of it on a college application
- Stay long enough to take on more responsibility, such as a second year or training new volunteers.
- Keep a log of hours and a few specific moments. They become the activities list entry and, often, an essay.
- Pair it with something that shows the same interest from another side, such as a class, a competition, or a summer program.
