St John Youth is a leading program for young people. We aim to develop young people as valued and vital members of the community. Our program provides youth members with opportunities to build upon their social, physical, emotional, intellectual, moral and cultural skills and behaviours. By combining First Aid and youth-oriented activities, we aim to develop self-reliant and confident young people who take their place as responsible members of society with a sense of community, service and self.
The St John Tasmania Program provides opportunities for young people from the ages of 11 to 18 years to be involved in a community-based First Aid-oriented youth program with opportunities to directly contribute to the community through voluntary service delivering First Aid at events.
Here at St John, we celebrate diversity and inclusivity. People from all cultures and backgrounds are welcome, including indigenous children, those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Once the application form has been completed, your child will be invited to attend a three-week trial. Membership is only required after this trial period.
Membership costs: $105 per year or $30 per term.
Uniforms cost: $50.
St John Ambulance Youth offers payment plans. For more information, please email youth@stjohntas.org.au.
