 Welcome to the International Federation's dedicated youth section. These pages feature just a small amount of the work of Red Cross and Red Crescent youth, who are active each and every day, in communities throughout the world. To find out what youth are involved in, visit the youth action pages.
The International Federation takes the development of youth seriously, and on our development pages, you can find out how we are working to enable young people to do more, do better and reach further. The next major opportunity to hear youth voices is at the IFRC General Assembly in November. You can also use our resources pages to find out how to maximize your impact!
If you are visiting to find out how you can get involved in the work of the Red Cross Red Crescent, you should visit our volunteers section, where you can find more info. We also provide a directory of youth contacts worldwide.
If you have questions or suggestions, you can contact us by emailing youth@ifrc.org.
