The St. Charles County TEEN CERT program is now Mid America TEEN CERT!

The Mid America TEEN CERT program is designed to teach students how to identify the types of disasters and hazards most likely to affect their homes, schools and communities. Young adults ages 12-18 (as well as adults) are trained to assist in the event of an emergency and or natural disaster, and to be prepared to assist their families and emergency services. The goal of Mid America TEEN CERT is to better prepare the community at an earlier age and offer positive extracurricular activities to the youth of St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren, Jefferson and Franklin Counties.

For more information about the TEEN CERT program, please visit http://groupspaces.com/SCCTC/ or email program director Mark Rosenblum at mark.rosenblum@juno.com.
