The Fond du Lac Family YMCA is offering community training classes in January, open to both Y members and the community.

Stay Home Alone Class

This class is designed for kids ages 8-12. The class is run through our Y to promote safety for kids who are old enough to be home alone as well as in the Y and other places in the community without an adult or someone directly watching over them.  Within this class, some of the topics covered will include internet safety, fire safety, weather emergencies and stranger danger.  This class is scheduled for Saturday, January 16th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Fees:  $20 Y member | $45 Community participant

American Heart Association CPR and AED

The American Heart Association’s CPR and AED learning programs helps increase survival rates by training people just like you to respond quickly. The sad truth is most people don’t survive a cardiac arrest. Four to six minutes is the window of opportunity for someone to act before it’s too late, but fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from someone nearby. This course teaches hands-on lifesaving skills. Upon completion of this 3 hour class you will receive the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers (CPR and AED) certification.  This class is scheduled for Tuesday, January 19th from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Fees:  $20 Y member | $40 Community participant

Registration for these community training classes begins Tuesday, December 8^th for Y members and Tuesday, December 15^th for community participants.  Registration is in person at the Y or online at fdlymca.org.
