Volunteer to Teach Hands-Only CPR at the FIFA Fan Festival 2026
The American Heart Association is looking for volunteers to support Hands-Only CPR training at upcoming FIFA Fan Festivals across the country. You’ll help teach lifesaving skills, engage with fans, and be part of a high-energy, purpose-driven experience. No prior medical experience is required—training will be provided.
CPR & AED Awareness Week
CPR & AED Awareness Week is June 1-7 and the American Heart Association is reminding everyone that the power to save a life is in your hands. Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and when it does, the best chance of that person surviving is when the people nearby are prepared. More than two in three people believe only those with special training should perform CPR, a mistaken belief that costs lives.
