Bay Emt

The mission of our programs is to increase diversity in the first responder profession by instructing inner-city youth in the EMT and Fire curriculum. Our goal is to create civic-minded EMTs and firefighters who will utilize their newly learned skills to work with community based programs, as well as local EMS and fire agencies. BAY EMT is able to offer the fire curriculum through a collaborative effort with the Alameda County Fire Department and Fremont Fire Department. The instruction is designed with an emphasis on improving study habits, test taking abilities and community awareness. The curriculum is expanded to include basic information on U.S. history, politics, government and current events. All students are required to participate in volunteer events that are scheduled by the program. BAY EMT works with schools, local non-profits, churches, and community agencies to provide these volunteer opportunities. BAY EMT utilizes a targeted recruitment strategy to ensure that all selected students reflect our programs' objectives. The 18 to 24 age range is optimal, however students outside this range are also accepted into our programs.
