Community Safety Classes

Learn to Save a Life — Right Here at The Y

The Skagit Valley Family YMCA is more than a gym — we’re where neighbors learn skills that protect our whole community. Our Community Safety Classes teach CPR, AED use, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogen awareness so you can step up with confidence when seconds matter.

Training is simple and effective: complete part of the course online, then practice hands-on with our certified instructors. And you don’t need to be a member to participate — because safety is something everyone deserves access to.

When you train at the Y, you’re not just taking a class. You’re joining a community of people who are ready to help others, anywhere, anytime.

Be prepared. Be confident. Be someone’s lifesaver.
