Future First Responders: Our Firefighter Mentor Program

In this Learning in Lake Oswego episode, we’re spotlighting an exciting new opportunity for high school students—the Firefighter Mentor Program with the Lake Oswego Fire Department! This program provides hands-on experience, mentorship, and insight into a career in firefighting. Two student participants, Vi French (a Lakeridge High School junior) and Aidan Shannon (a Lake Oswego High School senior), discuss their experiences. From emergency response training to leadership development, they share what they’ve learned, their challenges, and how this program shapes their future aspirations.Dr. Jennifer Schiele, Superintendent, LOSDMary Kay Larson, Executive Director of Communications, LOSDAidan Shannon, Student, Lake Oswego High SchoolVi French, Student, Lakeridge High SchoolLake Oswego Fire Department To learn more about the topics we discussed, ask a question, or share ideas for future episodes, please visit LOSDSchools.  org.  And remember to like and follow us wherever you get your podcasts.  Thank you for engaging with Learning in Lake Oswego.
