The Kennedy Meadows Community Volunteer First-Aid Team is a group of community volunteers trained and certified in First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED. We serve Kennedy Meadows in Tulare County, California, and the surrounding areas.

Kennedy Meadows is as remote as it is breathtaking. Ambulances and other emergency support services are many miles away and can take hours to arrive. The Kennedy Meadows volunteers play a critical role in providing a fast response and effective communication with local Search & Rescue teams. This service is vital to the community and its visitors. Please consider supporting the team with a donation.
