Australian Red Cross is proud to have young people taking action on humanitarian issues and creating change for the future.

These young people come from all around Australia and are leading the charge on real world problems in diverse and exciting ways.

From representing on the board of Australian Red Cross, to working in our programs and volunteering in our shops, we wouldn’t be who we are without them.

You too can get involved, share your voice, and contribute to the movement.

How to get involved


50 Ways to Do More Good

You can make a difference by volunteering to do one of our 50 actions.


Join our Youth Advisory Committee

Our state Youth Advisory Committees (YACs) are made up of young people from diverse backgrounds to make friends and develop their skills within a humanitarian setting.


Step into a retail role

Help to create a vibrant, fashion conscious community by volunteering in our Red Cross shops. For those who prefer to be behind the scenes we have warehouse roles too.


Volunteer with us

Gain new skills, share your existing ones and meet new friends as you volunteer to help others in your community.


Disastrous Dinners

Hold a Disastrous Dinner event to eat, drink and develop your own RediPlan through the Get Prepared app.
