I teach life saving skills to over 500 students in North Pole, AK, a semi-rural community with many young teens active on ATVs, swimming, arctic sports, and hunting. On average, there are close to 400 annual deaths to ATVs accidents alone. Because of the geographical isolation and lag time in EMT response--as well as lacking cell coverage in the bush--CPR and First Aid are increasingly paramount in accident survival. One student with CPR training could save the life of another by providing lifesaving assistance before medical help arrives. Students will learn CPR skills in their health classes.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
