Youth Squad now accepting applications for the 2023 Fall School Year.
Goals of Youth Squad
The Goal of the Community Ambulance Youth Squad is to train and prepare youths for adult membership in the Community Ambulance Company when they reach 18 years of age.
The Community Ambulance Company which relies on volunteer members continually needs new members to provide emergency ambulance services to the communities of Bayport, Bohemia, Oakdale, Sayville, and West Sayville.
How old do you have to be to join?
We allow young adults at the age of 14 years to join the Community Ambulance Company Youth Squad.
What does Youth Squad do?
As a member of the Youth Squad, members will be trained in all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care. This includes patient assessment, CPR, bleeding control, fracture management, oxygen administration, and other trauma and medical emergencies. In addition members are invited to attend all company trainings, drills and parades.
When do we meet?
Meetings are every other Wednesday from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm during the school year
Attendance is crucial to maintain continuity in training.
How long does Youth Squad training last?
When members reach the age of 16 years, they will be considered for participation in the ambulance observer program. This will consist of reporting for a weekly duty shift (3 to 6hrs) and responding on the ambulance to emergencies as an observer. This program is reserved only for members who have reached the appropriate maturity and has completed the necessary training that is required.
The parents/guardians must give permission for participation in this program and attend a short orientation.
