Stay Safe! Course

In-person delivery

This course, offered in partnership with Durham First Aid, offers basic first aid and safety skills for youth ages 9 to 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. Participants receive a workbook which they will use throughout the duration of the course and keep at the conclusion of the course.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a Certification in class, and a digital Red Cross certification will be emailed to their caregiver/parent/guardian.

Features:
  • Knowledge and hands-on skills practice
  • Take home materials: Stay Safe! Workbook and Completion certificate
  • Interactive, in the classroom learning experience
  • Professional instructor: Red Cross Youth Leader
