PROJECT YOUTH IS A PROGRAM SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO RECRUIT YOUTH FOR DISASTER PREPARDNESS AND EDUCATION. WORKING WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA, PROJECT YOUTH WILL TEACH STUDENTS DISASTER PREPARDNESS AND RESPONSE WHILE ALSO FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH. PROJECT YOUTH WILL TEACH THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING PREPARED FOR A DISASTER ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS. THE HOPE OF PROJECT YOUTH IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR DISASTERS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THE CASE OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND STATE VIOLENCE. PROJECT OUTH WILL ALSO ENCOURAGE MONTHLY SERVICE PROJECTS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED OF HELP. IT IS OUR HOPE THROUGH PROJECT YOUTH TO RECRUIT A DIVERSE GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO EDUCATE THE STATE ON DISASTER PREPARDNESS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.
