Beginning October 1st, in-person CPR training will be required. With the new requirements, each branch and their parents will receive an email separately from the Training Team. Read your emails carefully as they have very important information regarding these changes.
We want to help with this transition. Please email the Training Team at training@depelchin.org with any questions or concerns regarding these changes.
Please see the in-person training information for your DePelchin branch in the drop-down menus below:
