Mission Statement

It is the mission of Learning for Life to serve others by helping to instill core values in young people and in other ways prepare them to make ethical choices throughout their lives so they can achieve their full potential.

What is Exploring?

Exploring is Learning for Life’s career education program for young men and women who are 15-21 years old.  Adult advisors are selected by Fayette County EMS for their involvement in the program. 

Exploring’s purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.  Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities. 

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities.  Medical Explorers match students with local doctors, nurses, EMS providers, and other local resources at the interests of the youth.  The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.
