NFFF Events
2024 High School Fire & EMS Cadet Program Symposium
Event Details
The NFFF is returning to Detroit, Michigan after a successful 2023 event.
Join us at this year’s National Fallen Firefighter’s Foundation (NFFF) High School Fire & EMS Cadet Program Symposium. Learn from and be among colleagues specifically interested in sharing general information and effective practices with their peers from across the nation.
This is the 5th event in a series dating back to 2019. Stakeholders from 22 states and the District of Columbia have joined us in the past, spending two days learning from and networking with learning professionals, subject matter experts, and leaders of successful programs. Outcomes were impressive:
- 100% of attendees agreed that the symposium provided them with tools, resources, and best practices that could be put to use in their current program.
- 100% said the event provided a networking opportunity that enabled them to meet and interact with their peers.
- 100% planned to continue engagement with fellow attendees (via the group's social page, direct communication, or other means) to share ideas and best practices.
Attendees will experience a highly interactive agenda. Topics will address:
- The fire service culture and what it means to cadets
- First person success stories and why they matter
- Expanding your program to make the students more marketable
- Supporting a program from an administrator's view
- Mental health considerations for building resilient emergency workers
- Strategies to reduce bullying
- Reflecting society in today's fire service
- NFFF training resources
- And many more informative topics!
There is no registration fee to attend!
Please register by June 12, 2024.
