This summer, the Red Cross will again be conducting the “Get Red Cross Ready” Summer Youth Initiative. Last year, the Youth Department educated over 2,000 students in Marion County on disaster preparedness through presentations at local Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, and Indy Parks. A similar initiative, due to the work of Americorps*VISTA Kate Ayers, will also be taking place in Madison county this summer.
We are recruiting high school and college students ages 14-23 for full and part-time unpaid summer internships in both Marion and Madison Counties. Interns would work alongside Red Cross employees and Americorps*VISTAs to compose educational materials and make presentations to the target youth. The presentations will occur on weekdays between the hours of 9AM-3PM. We will work with qualified candidates to accommodate their availability.
