WHO WE ARE
City EMT is a San Francisco based non-profit organization (established in 2018) designed to address the issues of poverty, violence, and unemployment by training at-risk 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 are 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.
