The Civil Defence Lionhearters are SCDF's youth volunteers and Emergency Preparedness (EP) ambassadors.
As a Civil Defence Lionhearter, you will be trained in emergency skills so that you can be a Community First Responder. You will provide immediate assistance for both on-campus and off-campus emergencies, helping to save lives and minimise property damage before the SCDF arrives.
As an EP ambassador, you'll impart your knowledge and lifesaving skills to members of the public during various community outreach events.
Volunteers may also have the opportunity to participate in overseas humanitarian projects, such as with Mercy Relief and Singapore Red Cross.
