Empowering the Next Generation of Responders.
Wisconsin SERT (Student Emergency Response Team) trains high school students to respond safely, confidently, and compassionately during emergencies.
Real-World Preparedness
AHA & FEMA-aligned emergency response training.
Leadership & Teamwork
Students grow into confident team leaders.
Healthcare Pathways
A launchpad into medicine and public safety careers.
SERT Credential
Every trained student earns an official credential.
For schools & communities
Why schools establish a SERT
A student response team turns interest in helping others into practiced skills, shared responsibility, and a connection to the people who care for their community.
Prepared for the unexpected
Students practice a calm, organized response to medical emergencies while working within their school’s emergency procedures.
Student leadership in action
Teamwork, communication, and sound decisions become skills students practice together, not just read about.
A pathway beyond school
Hands-on training and program credentials give students experiences to discuss with colleges, employers, and future mentors.
A stronger community connection
Local EMS and healthcare professionals can help students explore service and public-safety careers through training.
SERT students support the school’s response; they do not replace school staff, the school nurse, or emergency responders.
