Program Overview
Armstrong To The Rescue is proud to host the Rescue Ready Kids™ Summer Program, a transformative, hands-on initiative designed to empower children ages 9 to 18 with critical CPR, First-Aid, and emergency response training. Through interactive workshops and guided instruction, participants learn how to react in real-life situations with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

Why It Matters?
Emergencies can happen anytime, whether at home, at school, or in public spaces. By preparing children early, we give them the tools to protect themselves and others in a crisis. Learning CPR and First-Aid at a young age increases awareness, builds resilience, and fosters a lifelong commitment to helping others.
In underserved communities, this training is more than an activity. It is a life-changing opportunity that can improve safety outcomes for families and neighborhoods.
Community Impact
The Rescue Ready Kids™ Summer Program represents Armstrong To The Rescue’s broader mission to build safer communities through education and action. By focusing on youth, we plant the seeds of service, compassion, and preparedness that will ripple through families and future generations.
