What is Youth Red Cross
Youth represent a substantial part of the membership of 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 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.
All YRC efforts are guided by three fundamental principles:
- Promotion of health and life
- Service to the sick and the suffering
- Promotion of national and international friendship to develop the mental and moral capacities of the youth
The Motto:
The motto of YRC is “With Humanity, to Serve Society“
Purpose of YRC:
- Inform youth members and others about the roles and responsibilities of the Red Cross and encourage them to contribute.
- Raise awareness about the importance of caring for their own health and that of others.
- Promote understanding and acceptance of civic responsibilities, encouraging actions that reflect humanitarian concern.
- Enable the growth and development of a spirit of service and a sense of duty among youth, with dedication and devotion.
- Foster friendly relationships with all individuals, without any discrimination.
