YOUR DONATION
Cities and counties are facing big challenges in both budget and personnel to meet the needs of the public. While public safety comes first, there is a shortage of well-trained, qualified first responders.
With everyone on high alert and facing potential domestic and international terrorism, first responders are being tasked to react to various incidents requiring them to have better education and technical training.
This is expensive.
We seek your financial support for our nonprofit charity to continue to fund students in certifications, licensing and training.
It is not a straight path to becoming a firefighter.
An applicant must complete the EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) Certification program before they qualify for Paramedic Certification programs and then State Firefighter Certification.
In addition to the course fees and study materials, students must purchase equipment, uniforms and recent technology with each of these stages. This is a heavy financial burden for those who would desire to be among those putting out that fire in your home…those who would save your children’s lives.
Future Firefighters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 81-5338862) supporting potential firefighters with scholarships/financial aid to assist in their required educational training and certification.
Monies raised go directly towards the entry-level certification classes – CPR, EMT, Paramedics, and Firefighter certifications.
The founder of Future Firefighters, Roland Dykes, is a 31-year retired veteran firefighter from the Los Angeles County Fire Department. His exemplary service as a firefighter is a perfect example of dedication in public service and he understands the lure to serve others.
It takes a special person to work diligently toward the certification steps for such a respected career. After all, the lives of firefighters are put on the line every day.
Your donations are essential to support the training required to save the lives of others.
