This year's Youth Executive Board (YEB) is talented, committed, fun, creative, passionate and all-around inspiring!

We have more than 100 Red Cross Clubs in the region (3,300 members at local high schools and colleges), and the 35 peer-elected youth leaders on the YEB are the "engine" behind our youth impact.

This photo was taken as they gathered for their kickoff meeting for the year this summer at our Baltimore office. The team had an opportunity to connect, collaborate and build teams for core committees: tech, recognition, communication, regional activities and event planning.

We are inspired by this next generation of Red Crossers!

Kudos and THANK YOU to the youth and adult volunteers of the NCGC Red Cross Club Youth Executive Board:

Huge thank you to our Training Services Team.

Last Friday's CPR class was a blast. We had a full room, great energy, and plenty of hands-on practice that reminded us why these lifesaving skills matter.

A big thank-you to our volunteer CPR instructors and our instructor-in-training for giving their time, skill, and commitment to the mission. Your dedication ensures our community is ready to act when it matters most.

We appreciate you-sleeves up, hearts open, all in.

The average response time for first responders after calling 911 is 8–12 minutes — making timely CPR and defibrillation critical.

Be ready in the moments that matter by ensuring your workplace is equipped with an AED.
