Community Medic Training

Learn basic first aid from a community perspective. This training has online and in-person components to offer different ways of learning. Trainer Leah Wolfe is a former street medic and disaster responder. Disaster preparedness is self-care especially in uncertain times.
This training includes three online portions featuring written materials and videos, and quizzes (that you can take multiple times) and an in-person hands-on workshop to practice first aid techniques. When all parts are complete, participants will receive a certificate and a patch.
The online portion should be completed before the in-person portion. I’m offering three dates for the in-person portion. I will contact you after you sign up with your payment below to confirm the date and location.
An online course complements the hands-on Community Medic Training, which will be available for 60 days to those who complete all three in-person trainings.
