Applicants' Orientation
The UP Red Cross Youth had conducted its applicants' orientation for the recruitment this 2nd Semester of 2009-2010 at the CIS Classroom C, Benton Hall, UP Diliman from 4pm to 6:30pm, and was attended by more than 60 people, 2/3 of which were applicants. The program included several speeches and videos aimed to give the applicants a clearer picture of what the UPRCY is about: its history, principles, services, and other activities; and what they can expect during their application period. Speakers included Steve Santos, President; Susan Quirante; VP for Projects and Operations; Jaristi Reyes, Recruitment Office Member, and Dr. Butch Ong, Founder of the UP Red Cross Youth in Diliman. An entertaining skit was also presented by new members from the application last Semester of the current year, with Mik Escano as their head for the presentation. Didi Parlade and Mik Escano were the spirited hosts of the program. The Applicant's Profile (yellow) forms were given after the end of the program, as well as the Applicant's Kit which included a handbook for their application process, and their signature sheets.
The following videos were presented during the orientation:

Application Ongoing! Join UP Red Cross Youth!
Org Profile:
The UP Red Cross Youth (UPRCY) is a duly recognized university-wide, service-oriented, student-based organization in the University of the Philippines–Diliman and a member council of the Philippine National Red Cross, Quezon City Chapter. Since 1992, it has been the only org in UP Diliman which offers first aid and basic life support services.
Activities:
We conduct various humanitarian and socio-civic services and programs, as well as other activities, such as:
First aid and basic life support training
Medical, dental, circumcision missions
Blood programs (blood donation drives, awareness and networking for donors, assistance for those in need of blood)
Community and volunteer work
Personal development (basic leadership training, team building seminars, weekly jogging, ultimate frisbee, skating, rappelling, wall-climbing, etc.)
Marketing and fund-raising (marketing seminars, food sale, rummage sale)
Org bonding activities (videoke, outings, parties and porma days, road-trips, inuman, etc)
Tambayan location:
The Red Table up the stairs (Beta Sigma Frat tambayan) near CASAA, in front of the Center for International Studies, Benton Hall beside PHAn. An alternate route is to enter from the PHAn main entrance, turn right past the photocopier, and straight ahead down the corridor.
Why you should join:
The UPRCY channels the potential of the youth for a concrete and significant difference in society, guided by the humanitarian principle of the Red Cross, through passionate and excellent service in an array of socio-civic projects and activities.
The org also supplements the theoretical education in UP by providing means for the students to learn in practice beyond the bounds of the classrooms and limitations of textbooks. The org offers practical knowledge such as everyday first aid know-how and people associations, as well as pre-employment experience in marketing, human resource, and medicine. Members grow in the org, and the org grows with them.
For pre-medicine students, the first aid training learned in the org, once certified by the QC Red Cross Chapter, can mean a free summer since first aid training is required in one summer in med school.
Lastly, friends, bonds, and connections created transcend the stay of members in the org as many UPRCY alumni can vouch, and for many UPRCYers, their membership does not really end in graduation from college.
From all these, time spent in the UPRCY is time invested well.
Application requirements:
basic leadership training
first aid and basic life support training (6 Saturdays)
active participation in org activities
45 tambay hours
accomplished sig sheet
org immersion
formal interview (latter part of the application)
and others
Application details:
Recruitment is ongoing. Applicants may sign-up at the UPRCY tambayan, or at our sign up booths at the AS Walk and Math Building.
Applicants' Orientation will be on 27 November, Friday, 4-6pm at the CIS Classroom, Benton Hall.
For questions, please contact:
Glase: 0915-231-4055
Applicants are welcome to stay at the UPRCY tambayan even before the Orientation. Mababait ang members! Mukha lang masungit yung iba (ehem), pero ie-entertain kayo ng mga yan pag dumaan at tumambay kayo. =]
