What is EMS Corps?
EMS Corps is a 5-month EMT training program for young people who have had to navigate under-resourced public systems, insecure housing, system involvement and other challenges.
In addition to EMT training, corps members receive a monthly stipend, wrap around support, mentorship, career guidance and job placement after they graduate.
