Our Work

This summer youth academy is geared to expose youth to different public safety careers. This 2-week crash course allows youth to learn about police, firefighter and medical training. They learn technical skills needed to be a competent trainee. Youth learn about leadership, time management, accountability, responsibility, communication skills, teamwork, sacrifice, integrity and the importance of respect. Youth meet a group of dedicated professionals who are passionate about mentoring the next generation of public safety personnel. Thank you to our local agencies: Richmond Fire, Richmond Police, Department of Homeland Security, Split-Second Response, Retired Public Defender Funk, Richmond Fire Battalion Chief Rincon and Retired Richmond Police Deputy Chief Médina for your continued support.
