In this issue we are excited to share highlights from the Firefighter Youth Academy's recent trip to Washington, D.C. This transformative journey provided our youth leaders with the chance to engage with national emergency response experts, gain vital certifications, and enhance their understanding of public safety.
The Firefighter Youth Academy is appropriate wherever the societal need is the greatest and there is a commitment by local firefighters to coach, mentor and inspire youth.
In addition to Fire and EMS training, our program provides cadets with a safe space for collective learning, relationship building and social and emotional development. We are the Robbin Mackbee Firefighter/EMS Youth Academy.
Emergency medical services
Cadets are empowered to save lives by learning first-aid and C.P.R. with our weekly volunteers from Medic Ambulance. These EMTs and Paramedics also serve as role models and excellent examples of what it takes to embark on the path to becoming a professional first responder.
Knowledge is
POWER
At SFARY we believe that empowering youth with knowledge is the key to catalyzing their future success. SFARY provides active learning and career exploration opportunities for young people with future interests in a career as a first responder as a firefighter, EMT or paramedic. SFARY is committed to providing young people with the tools and support necessary to advance their own lives and engage their communities to promote collective resilience.

Outreach + Innovation
In the spirit of innovation, cadets in the SFARY Digital Media Arts group really embraced the power of digital storytelling to highlight “The Robbin Mackbee Firefighter Youth Academy”! Through a process of hands on learning, sustained commitment, creative expression, dedication and true collaborative effort, the team was able to use their voices and and creative vision to provide a glimpse of what makes this program so special.
