Training, Education, Activities, and Mentorship for
Girls Interested in Response, Leadership, and Safety
​​Nassau EM has a new week-long summer opportunity for girls in grades 8-10.
​
The FREE immersive day-camp program runs from 9 am - 4 pm daily at the Emergency Operations Center.
​
​
TEAM for GIRLS is designed to inspire our next generation of female public safety leaders through interactive workshops, real-world simulations, and personal mentorship with professional women who have excelled in their law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and emergency management fields. ​
The schedule includes a variety of public safety career topics, with hands-on sessions in First Aid, CPR, and basic firefighting plus scenario-based team training to build confidence and valuable skillsets.
Emergency Management is a proud supporter of Hands4Hearts.org and our nationally recognized Medical Reserve Corps unit #2678, the Nassau Co. MRC. When not involved in public health emergencies, Nassau Co. MRC volunteers teach Hands-Only CPR/AED skills and other classes free of charge as part of their ongoing Life Savers Initiative.
Any CPR is better than no CPR - Bystander Hands-Only CPR saves lives!
