Monroe Township Ambulance and Rescue has just started an EMS based Explorer’s Post in the state of New Jersey, post #7294 More on “Exploring”:

Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is part of Learning for Life’s career education program for young men and women who are 16 through 20 years old.

Exploring’s purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.

Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and leadership experience.

This has been a long time coming and the association is expecting alot of great things to happen from our explorers’. More news to follow soon!
