YOUTH RED CROSS COMMITTEE

The Indian Red Cross is a voluntary humanitarian organization having a network of over 700 branches throughout the country, providing relief in times of disasters/emergencies and promoting health & care of vulnerable people and communities.

The Youth Red Cross, through its junior and youth programs, plays an important role in channeling and guiding this young energy in the cause of humanitarian action. Youth represent a substantial part of the membership of the Red Cross for its humanitarian commitment. Young volunteers can make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people within their local communities through the Red Cross youth Programme. This has been designed to involve young people as much as possible in the movement and its activities not only as workers and also as beneficiaries, but as partners in management.
