 Are you interested in community service?
Would you like to improve your leadership skills while learning more about the humanitarian mission of an internationally renowned organization?
How about practicing first aid skills in an exciting mock search and rescue drill?
Then join us at The American Red Cross Greater Bay Area's Leadership Development Center (LDC)! This year LDC will be hosted in partnership with our neighboring Silicon Valley chapter and will be held at Camp Campbell near San Jose in August. This 3-day, overnight camp is designed to build strong leaders and positive relationships among Bay Area Youth (entering grades 9-11). Students gain experience and training in Team-Building, Leadership roles, First Aid, and Disaster and Emergency Preparedness. Workshops include diversity issues, public speaking, trust activities, community circles, and fun and challenging group games. At LDC, you will be trained in First Aid, learn how to start a Red Cross Club, participate in a talent show, challenge yourself on a ropes course and much more.
LDC is open to all Bay Area High School students who are interested in volunteering with the Red Cross. You are eligible to apply for LDC 2009, which will be from August 15th – 17th if you will enter 9th–12th grade in Fall 2009, and are willing to commit one year of volunteer service to the Red Cross. We would love to have all enthusiastic high school leaders interested in community service apply. Financial assistance is available for youth living in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Solano counties.
