Youth activities and training

Youth programmes at St John Ambulance
'With St John Ambulance I have achieved so much. It’s made me a more motivated person. It’s taught me to aim high.' – Rebecca Cruxton

Our youth programmes give young people the opportunity to learn first aid alongside other important life skills. They operate throughout England.

Badgers (Ages 7-10)
Our fun and adventurous Badger Setts are packed with activities for children so they can learn important life skills in an exciting and safe environment.

Cadets (Ages 10-17)
At Cadets it's all about fun, community and developing your skills. You can learn first aid, earn your Grand Prior Award and volunteer within your community.

Youth projects: RISE (Ages 14-25)
RISE is a community programme aimed at training young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEETs).

University student volunteering
If you’re at university, you can join a first aid society. Student first aid societies offer a great opportunity to meet new people, provide first aid services and become more involved with your university community.
