YOUTH GROUP -

The Youth component of St. John in Ontario is broken down into three age groups: Juniors (ages 6-10), Cadets (ages 11-15), and Crusaders (ages 16-18). The youth program encompasses a wide variety of subject matter, including first aid.

• St. John Juniors (Age 6 to 10) - focuses on fun, health, home safety skills, caring for others and making friends

• Cadets (Age 11 to 15) - provides training in Emergency First Aid, encourages the expansion of personal skills and knowledge through the Proficiency Program, and teaches the importance of team work

• Crusaders (Age 15 to 18) - provides more advanced first aid training, places an emphasis on individual leadership qualities, and encourages community service

  At age 18, Crusaders have the following options:

  1. Become an adult member of the Medical First Responder team.
  2. Become a leader in a St. John Ambulance youth program.

I am interested. How do I get started?

Our Youth Group is a very popular program with limited enrolment based on the number of adult leaders that are available. When you call our office, we will advise you whether or not there is space in the program. If the program is full, we will put your name on our waiting list and call you as soon as a space opens up. We accept children at any time throughout the school year as space allows.

Then, come out for one evening and see how you like it. We're sure you'll want to come again!
