Promise Alliance http://www.americaspromise.org/ Firefighter's ABC's, an Alliance partner since 2009, assists fire departments through the Firefighter Diversity Recruitment Council across the U.S and Canada, in recruiting diverse young people to become prepared, motivated, successful firefighter recruits. To do this, Firefighter's ABC's works with high schools to recruit high-need and high-potential students into their online internship program. Participants in the program receive tips and resources on how to prepare for a career in firefighting, such as courses to take in school and life skills that will prepare them for the world of work.
This is an online internship program designed to allow many students to participate starting at the 9th grade through the 12th grade. We strongly encourage you to include girls and boys equally as well as to reach out to those students that may have not shown an interest in the fire service thus far. Firefighter's ABC's is generously offering a promotion to high schools for all members of the NASSP to apply to become partner schools at no cost. This will provide online internship opportunities to up to 24 students at the first 10 high schools per state to apply.
