Take a look around; you will find helpful links, sources for service projects, a calendar with National Days of Service, and much more. Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions or suggestions. American Red Cross Youth Vision Statement
"The American Red Cross educates, encourages, and empowers youth to be role models in their communities, so—as current and future leaders—they can further the mission and Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and touch more lives nationwide and around the world." Service ProjectsThe Northern Vermont Chapter recognizes five different categories of service projects that count toward an "Outstanding Service Award." Please review the requirements for this award if your club would like to be eligible to participate. Make sure you fill out an Activity Report Form each time you complete a service project, even if you do not wish to be a candidate for the "Outstanding Service Award." This will help us to keep you informed about what other clubs are doing and will also help us to make accurate reports to our national office. "Outstanding Service Award"For a club to earn the "Outstanding Service Award," it must complete a total of ten service projects from each of five categories according to the following requirements:
Recognition will be given at the end of the school year for any number of service projects done by a club. Please fill out an Activity Report Form as soon as you complete a project. You may fill out the online form or request a paper copy from the Northern Vermont Chapter. The paper copy form can be mailed or faxed, or it can be dropped off at the chapter. Project CategoriesService to the Community: These projects offer students a chance to take positive action to address needs within their local community. Service Through the Red Cross: These projects give students an opportunity to assist the Red Cross in educating their younger peers, provide Red Cross training to the students involved, and allows students to develop their presentation and leadership skills. Service to School and Students: Projects in this category encourage students to give something back to their school and its students. Service to the World: These projects focus on ways that students can help those in other countries and work to make our world a better place.
