What we do

• We teach first aid to young people in schools and youth groups through awareness training and certificated courses.
• We carry out awareness talks and practical workshops about the Red Cross and humanitarian issues in schools and youth groups throughout the year.
• We have an education section of our website where there are interesting issues to discuss and a wealth of resources to avail of.
• We offer the chance for young people to take humanitarian action and volunteer for one or more of our services.

Examples of our work

• Working with young people on a cross community and cross border project they completed a photography exercise on conflict which was exhibited in London, Belfast and throughout the UK.
• Through a road safety campaign we taught life saving techniques to over 3,000 young people in June 2005 alone.
