For 2024, we are requesting funding for our Babysitter Certification Training Program. The Red Cross has an online babysitter certificate that trains teens in child development, child-friendly activities, and safety protocols. While a teen could pay the $40 fee and take the 4-hour course on their own, many teens don’t even know it exists and that is an option. We will train one additional adult to oversee the training, provide the teens with a stipend for attending the training, and supply teens with their own Red Cross books and materials. We will also extend the training hours to include Infant/Child First Aid & CPR. Both of these certificates can be utilized by teens towards Act 158 Credits.
