Project Description
High School EMT Course
RECIPIENT: Paul Kendrick, Forest Lake Area High School
AMOUNT: $1,200
GRANT OVERVIEW
Forest Lake Area High School is one of four schools in the state of Minnesota to offer a hands-on emergency medicine and EMT training course to students. A grant from TEFFLA supported the purchase of new equipment, providing more students with the tools needed to develop valuable health care skills, and enabling them to explore new career options. The course has exploded in popularity, and over 70% of participants in its first year went on to pursue careers in the health field.
“We wouldn’t have been able to do almost anything without the equipment we received from TEFFLA. Because of what they gave us, we were able to do so much more.”
-Christina, EMT Student
