At the Gaston County Chapter, we realize the importance of youth involvement.

Our Red Cross youth ages 14-18 provides youth volunteer activities and leadership skill building activities. We also boast a youth Clown-Around Troupe that travels to pre-schools, daycares and libraries teaching basic first aid and safety to children.

Two youth representatives are non-voting members of our chapter’s board of directors. Other youth activities include: providing holiday meals for a local fire family, an Easter Egg Hunt and parties at local rest homes.
