Giving students the
confidence to save
Welcome!
"High school students will become the next generation of bystanders who can provide CPR and AED use, once they are educated. Those trained as students are likely to be in homes or community sites where cardiac arrests commonly occur." - Dr. Victoria Vetter, MD, MPH
The Story of Us
Welcome to the Emergency Education Initiative! Founded by a former CPR/BLS instructor and UCR Medical Emergency Education Project board member, our mission is to provide free emergency response training to students in public schools. We believe that by equipping the next generation with life-saving skills, we empower them to become responsible citizens actively involved in the well-being of their communities. With a focus on creating a culture of preparedness, our goal is to ensure that every student has access to vital emergency education, regardless of their financial circumstances. Join us in our pursuit of a safer future, where knowledge becomes the key to saving lives and fostering resilient communities.
