"It’s vital to attract people into the emergency services while they are young so that they form lifelong connections, whether as active responders or as active community supporters. Junior EMS programs provide an opportunity to learn about EMS and EMS agencies in a safe, controlled, educational, fun and exciting way while providing agencies with an excellent recruitment mechanism..."

Welcome!

TIERS Executive Director Rolly Churchill has created this ready-to-use resource for starting your own "junior EMS" member program. The Junior EMS Tool Kit uses material from the National Volunteer Fire Council (juniors.nvfc.org) and from TIERS' eight years of experience bringing young adults into EMS as a career choice.

Feel free to use documents in either the Word or PDF version, changing them to match your agency's needs. You can also contact TIERS for help or advice:
