 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 Bay Area's Leadership Development Center (LDC)! LDC is held at Mills College in Oakland annually in July. This 4-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, and First Aid, Disaster and Emergency Preparedness, HIV/AIDS awareness, and International Humanitarian Law. Workshops include diversity issues, public speaking, trust activities, community circles, and fun and challenging group games. At LDC, you will become a trained Preparedness Presenter, learn how to start a Red Cross Club, participate in a talent show, 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 2008, which will be from July 29- August 1st, if you will enter 9th–12th grade in Fall 2008, 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.
