CORE
Community Outreach in Action: Hands-Only CPR & AED Training
Join Us in Empowering Our Communities
There is an exciting opportunity to get involved in a meaningful community outreach project — UTH CORE: University of Texas Houston Community Outreach & Readiness via Education.

- Readiness
- Education
The goal of UTH CORE is to improve bystander CPR and AED use in neighborhoods with historically low rates, many of which are also in lower socioeconomic areas and face higher risk factors for poor outcomes.
Through partnerships with the YMCA of Greater Houston and the City of Houston, we will be visiting community sites to provide hands-only CPR and AED training to community members.
How You Can Help
We are looking for volunteers to assist with the educational instruction portion of the sessions.
- Each session is 1.5 hours and offered twice, back-to-back.
- Volunteers must be BLS certified to participate.
