A.W. Outdoor Education

09/07/2026

Last week, community members came together at Richmond Hill Fire Department to learn how to recognize and control life-threatening bleeding during our FREE Stop the Bleed class.

This is why we do it. ❤️

Real people. Real hands-on practice. Real skills that can make a difference before professional help arrives.
And we’re not stopping here.

🔥 Our September community class is already FULL!

📅 October 13 — Youth Emergency Readiness Day

A hands-on day built for middle and high school students to learn emergency skills, preparedness, and how to respond when things go wrong.

🩹 October 27 — FREE Community Class
First Aid Kits + Epi & Narcan Training at Richmond Hill Fire Department.

More free community training continues in November and December!
Programs are made possible through Community Readiness Foundation, Richmond Hill Fire Department, and AW Outdoor Education.

You asked. We answered.

Now we keep building a more prepared community—one class at a time.
