Junior Program
Our program has been based on what the Newark Ambulance Jr.
program has had well established for several years now.
The basic premise is this:
As they go through time (certain number of months of active membership in good standing.)
- attend meetings, and activities,
- complete KWLA's (What I know, what I want to know, what I learned, and my affective response -how I feel about the topic),
- Complete a certain number of notations on their training records at certain levels -meaning from with assistance to independently. They gain "points" and move their way up the ranking system. From a Junior Member, Private, Private first class, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant first class, Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, and finally Sergeant Major. (This would be completing at least 2 1/2 years.)
The ultimate goal is to get kids involved in their communities, work on emergency response, and possibly have future adult volunteers that are actual trained EMT's.

What they have done!
As far as what our juniors have done thus far:
We started the program with our first meeting on October 18, 2010. We meet every other Thursday at 7pm for about an hour and a half, but several of the Jr. members have also attended other NAi trainings. So far they have visited Mercy Flight, and volunteered at the Light up Naples night.
During their meetings they have seen demonstrations of and practiced: Patient Assessment Management Trauma/ Medical, practiced BP's, O2, , Immobilization Techniques, Started NIMS, Sling and Swath, Bleeding Control, Scene Safety, Gerney operation.
The NAi trainings that they have attended:
- Blood glucometer training
-Emergency Service Worker Rehabilitation
-HIPPA
Lastly, they have attended 3 weekly sessions at FLCC in March and have obtained their CPR and First Aid certifications.
Our Juniors have also participated in the Mock DWI Accident at Naples Central School. This presentation is to show students what could happen if they drink and drive as a precaution as Prom draws near.
