The American Junior Red Cross was founded in 1917. President Woodrow Wilson announced the opening in a formal proclamation. He was also an avid supporter.[1][2] Henry Noble MacCracken formulated the plan in consultation with other educators.[3] The idea was to allow and encourage juniors to assist their country through the American Red Cross. Its initial purpose was to help civilians suffering during World War I. Afterward, the purpose shifted to being a good neighbor and helping those in need. This included locally, nationally, and worldwide (both at home and abroad).[4]
