Starting your Red Cross Club

Congratulations Red Cross Club Officers on your new position! We've put together some information that you'll find useful as you develop your club throughout the upcoming school year!
Getting Started
1. The Charter Form needs to be filled out and returned as soon as possible so we can begin email communication with your club.
2. All of your new club members will need to fill out a Volunteer Application and return it back to us.
3. As new members join, you'll need to enter their information into your school's Roster. This roster should include all existing members of your school's club. A digital copy of your roster should be turned into the chapter during Officer's Forum.
4. When you come to the Chapter for Officer's Forum, you'll need to bring in your Monthly Club Report, which details all your club's activity for the past month.


Important Reading Material
Some helpful information whether you're starting a new club or building an exisiting one.

The Red Cross Club Bylaws will help you to understand what is expected and required of you as an official Red Cross Club.

If you're a new club, make sure to check out How to Start a Red Cross Club which runs through the basics of starting a club.

Keeping the Clubs Going
One of the best ways to stay informed and educated is to attend the monthly Officer's Forum meeting. There you'll be able to keep up with the latest events and service projects, hear creative ways to keep your club exciting and network with other seasoned club officers. You can find a list of important dates to keep open here.
