Representatives from Queensland Ambulance, Police, Fire and Surf Life Saving came together on Friday to launch an Emergency Services Cadet Program, which will be run in partnership with PCYC.
The ESC Program will be based out of the Beaudesert Fire Station next year and is for young adults aged 12 to 17 interested in a career or volunteering role within the emergency services.

The first recruitment will see 12 cadets sign on this number will grow over time. Additional applicants will go on a waitlist.
Training will be on Monday nights from 6pm to 8pm.
Cadets parade once weekly throughout the school term, with all units hosted by a sponsoring emergency service.
Every unit is run by local volunteers with a breadth of experience across the emergency services and community engagement. Please be considerate in understanding that occasionally operational duties of our volunteers can impact Cadet operations. Clear communication will be in place at such times.
Emergency Services Cadets is free to join, however all cadets are required to supply their own black leather safety boots, socks and a willingness to enthusiastically engage in training, opportunities and volunteering.
Email emergencyservicescadets@pcyc.org.au if you are interested in joining in the new year
All donation enquiries can be made at escbeaudesert@pcyc.org.au
