Youth Services
The Greenwich Chapter believes that youth and young adult volunteers are a valuable part of this organization and encourages them to lend their talents and skills to Red Cross services.  Currently, youth and young adults up to age 24 make up 40% of all Red Cross volunteers.

The American Red Cross is committed to developing youth involvement so that young people may better serve their community and become the leaders of tomorrow.
