Volunteer: Youth Action Campaign - International Humanitarian Law

The American Red Cross’s International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Youth Action Campaign empowers youth and young adults, ages 13-24, to learn about international humanitarian law—the body of law that governs armed conflict.

Young people volunteer to educate the American public on IHL by exploring topics with their communities through peer-to-peer education campaigns. Youth teams participate in an IHL training, during which they learn how to build their own educational campaigns and conduct in-person and social media activities to promote awareness around IHL.

For the 2020-2021 academic year teams will focus on Education in war – how educational systems can be damaged by armed conflict and how the law protects them.
