History
The Dominican Red Cross was established as a branch of the British Red Cross in 1958. After the country gained independence in 1978, it became an recognised independent national society in 1983.

The Junior Red Cross, a section of the British Red Cross which recruited young volunteers, was officially formed in 1924. Its main objectives were the protection of life and health, services to the sick and suffering, and international friendship and understanding

Today, young people continue to work with the British Red Cross through youth engagement and education programmes.
