MHYC Alum Inspired by Wilderness First Responder Course
A recent MHYC alum used an AmeriCorps education award to successfully complete a NOLS First Responder Course in Yellowstone. This student intends to pursue a Community Emergency Response Team Certification in Thornton, Colorado, building on wilderness medicine skills learned at NOLS.
“Snow covered plains and roaming buffalo at every turn—this was the start of winter in Yellowstone. Several months ago I was able to experience the beauty of Yellowstone National Park while I completed my Wilderness First Responder Course. I completed my course with NOLS, the National Outdoor Leadership School.”
