Applications are now open for the San Diego Emergency Medical Services Corps, a program designed for youth impacted by the child welfare or juvenile justice systems looking for career opportunities.
Operated by the county’s Fire and Emergency Medical Services, the five-month program pays a $1,500 monthly stipend and is recruiting for two sessions, one starting in January and the other in June 2026.
Individuals aged 18 to 27, who reside in the state of California, have a valid driver’s license as well as a high-school diploma or equivalent, are eligible for the emergency medical technician training.
Applicants also must be able to meet the state’s EMS Bureau EMT Background guidelines. According to a press release, 20 students will be accepted into each session.
The EMS Corps program was launched in 2012 and piloted in an Alameda County youth detention camp. Since, it has trained more than 500 individuals to provide emergency medical services and has produced numerous nurses, firefighters and doctors.
Participants in the San Diego EMS Corps will be enrolled as Southwestern College students and will have the opportunity to ride-along with local ambulance providers. EMS Corps Program Manager Nicholas Bye-Carnes emphasized the hands-on and active learning nature of the training.
“Support for participants doesn’t end at graduation,” the county said in a news release, adding that through a community-based nonprofit organization, “students will receive job placement assistance, mentorship, career coaching and help purchasing essential equipment.”
