Stay Safe! Youth First Aid

Offers basic first aid and safety skills for youth 9-13 years old. Participants learn about being safe when they are without the direct supervision of a parent, guardian, or trusted adult, both at home and in their communities.

Class does not include lunch - please pack a lunch and snacks for your child as you would for a day at school.  We do not permit students to leave at lunch to buy food unless a parent gives written permission.

After November 20, 2020, this class will be transitioning to virtual delivery only for the remainder of fall/winter 2020-2021.
