As a part of The American Red Cross, it is our mission to make sure that we reach out to all age groups of our community to teach them Health and Disaster Preparedness. For that reason, we have numerous programs designed for different targeted audiences. Some are taught by the teachers themselves, others can or must be taught by a certified American Red Cross instructor.  

To set up an appointment with an Outreach Specialist, call Meg or Danny at (361) 887-9991. We can alter our courses to fit any group size, location and time restraints. Most courses are free of charge when presented by the Coastal Bend - Texas chapter. However, there are a few that require a fee for materials.
