An aspiring medical professional is enjoying his time serving as president of the American Red Cross of Southwest Washington Youth Council.
Kendrick "Kenny" Kim, 17, of Camas, has been on the council for two years. Before that time, he volunteered to assist with Red Cross office tasks and he cleaned the faces of mannequins that were used in CPR classes.
Kim then became a member of the Red Cross Club at Mountain View High School, before he applied to serve as a member of the youth council.
That involved submitting an application, as well as a teacher's recommendation, to the executive board of the council.
