Young members of St John Ambulance at a public event

Young people

St John Ambulance is a great place to be a young person – if you’re aged five to 25, you can learn first aid and other life skills, meet new challenges and make new friends.

If you’re aged five to 10, you can join Badgers. Learn first aid, have fun and you could become a Super Badger!

10 to 16 year-olds can become Cadets. You’ll get the best first aid training, and a wide choice of other activities. You’ll never be stuck for something to do.

And if you’re in higher education, you can join LINKS.

If you’re older, but you have what it takes to inspire young people, we have vacancies for youth leaders.
