Youth Development

Our Youth Development program teaches first aid skills to children aged 11 to 17. Once qualified they can start attending selected events and providing first aid to our community under the supervision of our highly qualified adult members. Beyond first aid, our young people learn a range of important life skills that see them develop the tools, confidence and compassion to contribute in a positive way to their community. Youth members can attend a range of fun camps and competitions and even earn proficiency badges and SACE points along the way. A number of personal development and leadership opportunities are available to empower our youth to explore their potential. We focus on providing a fun, safe and engaging platform for young people to contribute to the community whilst developing key first aid, life and social skills.
