A leader in teen tours, 360° Student Travel by Westcoast Connection, and the American Red Cross have created a brand licensing partnership to launch a new one-of-a-kind summer program in Washington, D.C., that gives teens the opportunity to volunteer in ways that make a real difference.
Teenagers will be able to turn compassion into action, by participating in two Red Cross campaigns, including distributing care packages to homeless veterans as part of Totes for Hope, and conducting fire safety risk assessments and prevention in homes supporting the Home Fire Campaign.
Stephen Glockenmeier, vice president of Brand Strategy and Licensing for the American Red Cross expressed his excitement about this program: “It’s so important to inspire the youth of today and make them aware of ways they can contribute to see positive change. Getting involved at a young age can really broaden their views of the world and motivate them to volunteer in their own communities for years to come.”
