Testimonials

"The Junior Paramedic program introduced me to the world of emergency medicine, which eventually laid a foundation and led me to pursue a career as a Paramedic. This program equipped myself and many other high school students with valuable skills, knowledge and experience needed to react in an emergency situation. It was a great program and a fun way to spend summer."

"Since I was a teenager, I always dreamed of finding a career where I could serve the community. I am so glad I took the opportunity to join the Jr. Paramedic Program, which opened the door to my future! During the program, we learned life-saving skills that I now use every day.  I also made life-long friends and had the best mentors who I now call my colleagues.
