Congratulations to the 25 students of cohort 10. They graduated December 2025 and they are 82% complete in passing their National Registry test. What you see are 24 future EMT's, Paramedics, Firefighters, Nurses, and more!

WHO WE ARE?

City EMT is a San Francisco based non-profit organization (established in 2018) providing first responder workforce development training to young adults, aged 18-24 years old, in an expanded EMT curriculum (four month) program. We couple the curriculum with comprehensive wrap-around services that have been found to increase the success rate of the participants.

The wrap around services is one of the key components of our program. Through our partnerships with other vital community organizations, we offer case management, life coaching, mental health services, address housing stability, assist with food health and nutrition, and establish employment viability through criminal background reviews.

PLESE READ BEFORE STARTING APPLICATION:
The selection process is highly competitive, and all applicants will not be selected for the panel interview phase. It is our suggestion to first read through the application and complete a draft of your answers for the essay questions (all should be in paragraph format) as well as gathering all documents that are required to be downloaded. Please email us with any questions or concerns.
