What do you know about the American Red Cross Society?

The ARCS is more than just a disaster-relief organization, they work to reunite families across the country, bring about change in local communities, and train volunteers to make a difference.

As the Red Cross Youth Task Force, we aim to bring about change within our own TJ community.

This video is just a small sample of the true impact of the ARCS in neighborhoods in the United States:)
