First Aid CPR | Girl Scouts

Where to find a class:

Many community organizations such as hospitals, clinics, fire departments, and technical colleges offer first aid and CPR courses to the general public. Sometimes organizations will even set up a class just for you if there is a small group of students wishing to take the class. American Heart Association and The Red Cross offer an online/blended course which may be a great option if you cannot find a class.
