Wake County EMS High School Summer Internship

Wake County Government’s EMS Programs for Youth page describes a competitive high school summer internship for juniors and seniors. Activities include time in the EMS academy, simulations, field trips, specialty classes, ambulance observation shifts, exposure to EMS system departments, and a final presentation. Successful completion yields 120 hours that may count toward one credit hour at participating high schools per the official page. Program location is the Wake County Emergency Services Education Center (221 South Rogers Ln., Suite 160, Raleigh). Calendar combines weekdays and ambulance shifts; students must provide their own transportation. Important: The public page text still references a prior cycle (for example June-August 2025 and a March 1, 2025 application deadline). Re-read the live Wake County EMS page for the current year’s dates, eligibility, and the active application link before applying.
