Experience Camp Courage
The First Responders Society is an incorporated non-profit company established by firefighter Andréa Speranza, in January 2006, for the purpose of introducing young women and gender-diverse youth aged 15- 18 to careers as first responders; primarily paramedics, police officers, and firefighters.
The ultimate goal is that the youth will leave with a sense of empowerment and the confidence to believe that they can achieve any goal, career or dream they desire.
