American Red Cross and AmeriCorps

Youth Can Be Red Cross Ready, too! Each year, the American Red Cross responds to an average of more than 60,000 disasters, most of which are home fires. Knowing this, the Red Cross provides free disaster emergency preparedness education to help youth take action during emergencies and foster safer communities by sharing what they have learned with family and friends. Traditionally, our preparedness presentations are offered in-person to youth across the country and abroad. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed an interactive presentation for students grades 3–5 or ages 7–11 years old. Topics discussed in this presentation include: an introduction to the American Red Cross, proper hand washing techniques, a guided coping skills activity and home fire preparedness safety education. Ask your local Red Cross chapter for the Household Preparedness Workbook and learn how to be Red Cross Ready for Emergencies.
