Details

Red X was launched in February 2004, a joint venture between Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters and the Red Cross. It was intended to provide training and opportunity for young mutants wanting to get involved in humanitarian work, especially disaster relief.

Induction training was carried out on the last Friday of every month, including First Aid and talks from those involved in search and rescue and disaster relief. At one point most of the students at the school were involved in the program, assisting in several events. Things flagged, however, until July 2006 and the San Diego earthquake, when most, if not all, of those who had previously been enrolled volunteered to help the myriad aid agencies on the ground. Several of the new students also got involved, expressing an interest in continuing with the program.

The event and the response revived interest in Red X, and in 2007 it was re-launched.
