Each generation passes on the torch of development to the next. Hence it becomes the challenge for the present generation to groom the future of tomorrow and that is the ‘Youth’. The College Red Cross Youth(CRCY) programme for college students was approved by the Board on January 28 1969. The Youth Red Cross (YRC) is a voluntary humanitarian organization to protect human life and health based in India. It is a part of international Red Cross movement. Its mission is to provide relief in times of disaster and emergencies and promoting health and care of vulnerable people and communities.Volunteering has been at the heart of Indian Red Cross society since its inception in 1920, with the society having YRC and JRC as its fraternity. The society is closely associated with St. John ambulance.
