Drexel Heights Fire Department is offering two day training classes to get students ages 12 to 16 CPR certified and ready to care for infants and small children.
This program is extremely important for older siblings watching younger siblings over the summer. Knowing CPR and basic medical skills could mean the difference between life and death in certain situations.
The class also teaches resume building and other relevant job skills in addition to lessons from nurses and the poison control center on keeping kids safe.
Here's an outline of the program.
