Junior Fire and Emergency Service Program Resource Now Available Online

Junior Programs help Emergency Service Organizations (ESOs) recruit new volunteers and interest others in full time emergency service work. VFIS offers a recently-revised resource to assist organizations that might be considering a new youth program. This resource can help organizations decide whether a program is right for them, what kind of program best meets their needs, how to organize a program, and how to keep track of the program throughout the years. Included within are descriptions of model programs, an introduction to legal and liability issues applicable to youth programs, and a review of resources available to departments seeking guidance in establishing a youth program.

You can view this program, as well as other resources and downloads, at http://www.vfis.com/resources.htm.
