How would you like to learn to do something important and challenging? Would you like to know how to save lives? Do you want to help people in a way that really counts? And have fun too? You can do all that now as a member of the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps' new Youth Corps which is just now being formed. You'll learn first aid and CPR; you'll learn to use all the equipment aboard an ambulance, and polish your skills with regular drills. You'll have the chance to serve on stand-by crews at public events. And at 16 you'll have the opportunity to become a riding member - part of a regular ambulance crew responding to emergency calls. You'll work side by side with senior members, as equals, as part of a team, and you'll have earned their respect. In the Youth Corps you'll work with adult advisors, but they'll be there just to help. The Youth Corps will be your own, you'll write the rules and regulations and by-laws, run your own meetings, plan and conduct your own events and handle your own treasury. You should be getting details on the Youth Corps in school shortly. Applications will be available in school offices, or from Youth Corps advisors.
