LeadershipOpportunities
Exploring Post #202 is run by the Explorers them-
selves. They even have their own chain of com-mand, including a post
Captain. These positions are appointed and then voted by the Explorers.
Being responsible to their post and team helps the Explorers have a sense
of purpose and facilitates their ability to work and
grow as a leader.
ExperientialOpportunitiesThe Explorers are encouraged to take every opportunity to “get hands on” that they can. This can be as simple as par-ticipating in airway management workshops, bleeding/ shock workshops, or even an MCI (Multi-casualty Incident) Drill. The Explorers and the advisors work together to create the yearly syllabus, which provides the Explorers the opportunities to focus on what their potiential career entails. Post #202 also offers the opportunity to ride along with ambulance crews. The Explorers will be exposed to real life emergencies and interfacility transfers. This ex-perience will give them an real insight into a career in health care and/or emergency medical services.

“The best parts of Post #202 are: the people-- the Explorers and our advisors, we are always learning new skills. We always have an amazing time at meetings and the field-trip opportunities. The ride-alongs are very educational and it’s even fun to represent our post in parades and other community events.”
