A
Note from a Red Cross, Youth Volunteer
The American Red Cross Youth Leaders of the Northeast Louisiana
Chapter are inspirational and intelligent leaders of today's
society. We deliver messages to people of all ages including
the elderly. Youth leaders
are a voice for our communities and we speak about how you
can make your community a safer place by giving speeches on
things like Fire Safety, Being Home Alone, etc. To be an American
Red Cross youth leader is an honor, a duty and a privilege
that should not be taken lightly. Our time spent learning
how to do one basic step of CPR can save one person's life.
So Youth Leaders do make a difference in our and many other
communities. You too can make a difference in your community.

What
is Masters of Disaster?
The American Red Cross, with generous support of the Allstate
Foundation, has developed a curriculum that not only teaches
students about disaster safety, but helps teachers meet their
required objectives as well! We know that teachers have a
lot to cover to meet the learning objectives prescribed by
their school system.

more about Masters of Disaster
That's why we've developed the Masters of Disaster curriculum--to
help teachers integrate important disaster safety instruction
into their regular core subjects such as language arts, math,
science, and social studies. This is not additional material
for teachers to work into an already packed school day. Rather,
the Masters of Disaster curriculum, which is aligned with
the National Education Standards, supplements the lessons
teachers are already teaching. At the same time it provides
students with information to help them prepare for disasters
and stay safe during and after a disaster in their home, school,
or community.
