    Description

    Spend your summer with the American Red Cross!

    The American Red Cross VolunTEEN program is a unique service learning experience for local teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17. Every summer, a cohort of VolunTEENs joins the American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces team to support at military clinics and hospitals across the region.

    Participants gain valuable hands-on experience in a healthcare setting, strengthen leadership and teamwork skills, meet other local teens and – most importantly – have a direct impact in supporting local service members and military families.

    Last year, the Red Cross VolunTEENs logged more than 5,000 volunteer hours! Applications are now open.
