The first aid program includes students in the seventh grade of elementary and other high school students.

The aim of the program is to raise awareness among young fellow citizens of the importance of knowing first aid procedures in order to reduce the lasting consequences of accidents and incidents. Our desire is to encourage young people to learn and practice first aid practical skills.

Student training is conducted through two stages. The first, basic training is provided by the first-aid teachers-mentors of 10 teaching hours, consisting mainly of theoretical lectures and conducted in schools, while the advanced training is carried out by volunteers and Red Cross volunteers over 20 teaching hours through exercises and workshops they contain practical tasks and are conducted at the GDCK Zagreb Youth Resort in Novi Vinodolski.

The goal of the HCK Youth Competition is to promote the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross Movement and to introduce and involve as many young people as possible in humanitarian programs that aim to help everyone wherever it is needed. The content, conditions and manner of conducting competitions in the knowledge and skills of young people of the Croatian Red Cross are based on: Rules of competition for young people of the Croatian Red Cross and the General Instructions for conducting competitions and reviews of pupils of primary and secondary schools of the Republic of Croatia in 2017.

Zagreb Red Cross has joined the program of Prevention of Trafficking in Human Beings, which is implemented within the framework of Civic Education and has been approved by the Agency for Education.

The aim of the workshop is to familiarize children and young people with the concept and process of trafficking in human beings, ways of combating trafficking in human beings, institutions and organizations that they can address in case of suspected possible trafficking in human beings and to make them aware of the concept of trafficking and the frequency of this phenomenon. Education seeks to alert children and young people to the dangers of trafficking, most notably themselves as potential victims, and reduce the number of (potential) victims of trafficking.
The program is implemented in the form of workshops for 45 minutes. The workshops are designed for kindergarten children, second and seventh grade elementary school students, and third year high school students. For its implementation, publications, books and articles related to trafficking in human beings, audio-visual means (films, videos, presentations), role-playing drama workshops are used, and for the youngest a social play, a picture book and a coloring book featuring the character Milica Milica.
