This course teaches students how to recognize and handle first aid, breathing, and heart-related emergencies for people of all ages.
Teens in grades 7-12 are welcome to register online.
The teen's name and email address will be shared with the American Red Cross in order to obtain an adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certificate. Teens are welcome to still attend the course and pass on acquiring the official certification.
Registrants must bring a bag lunch and drink.
