You can be a hero! Even if you’re not old enough to donate blood you can still save lives by asking your parents, family members and older friends to donate blood. You can even earn a cool recognition certificate by creating your own youth service project.

Ask your teacher to offer lessons about saving lives in your community with the Be a Hero program and the Partnership with Youth program.
