The Australian Junior Red Cross was founded in New South Wales in August 1914 by Mrs Eleanor MacKinnon, originally aimed at involving children in supporting recuperating soldiers, as well as assisting soldier's children. Subsequently the movement evolved to focus on the development of a humanitarian ethos amongst young people through education programs, participation and activities that encourage active citizenship and community participation. In the 1970s the Australian Junior Red Cross changed its name to Red Cross Youth and became part of the Youth and Education Service Department, focusing on people under 30 years.
