Youth Program
The Fiji Red Cross Youth Development initiatives are orchestrated through our dedicated Youth Program, a cornerstone of our National Society’s core programs. This program operates under the collaborative leadership of a designated focal role and democratically elected Youth representatives, who are from our dedicated Branch Youth volunteers. Together, they form what is known as the Youth Commission.
Youth Commission
The Youth Commission’s primary focus revolves around engaging in consultations and advocating for the interests of young people. This crucial endeavor ensures that youth perspectives are not only considered but actively integrated into our comprehensive organizational planning and decision-making processes.
Junior Red Cross Clubs
The Junior Red Cross (JRC) Club program is an educational initiative designed for primary schools, offering a comprehensive curriculum that integrates teacher and student participation across three key areas: Disaster Preparedness, Health and wellness, and Safety.
National Youth Forum
The Forum is an annual gathering that plays a pivotal role in the Fiji Red Cross Society’s broader strategy of empowering youth as catalysts for positive change. It serves as a platform for young voices to articulate important concerns and contribute innovative ideas to the organization’s planning and growth.
This event also marks the occasion for National Youth elections every four years, determining the Youth Commissioners, and the presentation of the National Youth Volunteer Award every two years.
In alignment with the FRCS Strategic Plan 2022 – 2026 and the IFRC Strategy 2030, and in harmony with Fiji’s National Youth Policy, we acknowledge the significant presence of young people within our population. Involving them in our organization’s development is not just a priority but a necessity. This engagement fosters inclusive planning and activities aimed at fortifying social structures and community resilience.
