“Every day at ALERT, I learn to depend on Christ more. I’ve learned there is always room to grow, that I don’t have all the answers, and most importantly, that it is my walk with Him that really matters.”
Kenjie S. | Unit 66
“Before I came to the ALERT program, my life was without direction and purpose. I would spend my time working dead-end jobs and playing video games, and occasionally participating in outdoor activities if invited. After going through Basic training, I saw a glimpse of what I could be if I wanted to change. Over my time at ALERT, I have seen God’s grace to me as my faith and reliance on Him grew. I can say for certain that ALERT has changed my life for the better in terms of leadership, discipline, physical strength, and so much more. I will forever be grateful to this program and the men in it.”
Joshua L. | Unit 64
“The unique tensions and challenges that I faced here forced me to rely on God and get out of my comfort zone. It taught me to behave with conviction, think with clarity, and speak with authority. ALERT gave me a valuable perspective about life, God, and people that I never had before.”
Len N. | Unit 61

“Learning to cry out to God and to lean on Him for strength.” 🙏
Kirk, an alumnus from Unit 13, shares a powerful message on faith and overcoming trials. Kirk later saw his son, Luke, go through Unit 63 and come out a different man.

Emergency Medicine
When an emergency occurs or lives are at risk, will you be prepared? ALERT’s EMT program takes students through a focused course on pre-hospital emergency care that includes two weeks of clinical training in the emergency room and on an ambulance. Additionally, practical scenarios throughout the course simulate real-world field experiences and help prepare students for a career in emergency medicine. Even if you do not plan to work as an EMT, the knowledge and skills that you learn in this class are invaluable and may even save a life.
The next EMT class will start August 30, 2025. For more information on our training options or for our full training calendar, please see the link in our bio.
