St John Ambulance and Rescue Malta - Youth

St. The St John Ambulance and Rescue Youth Section has a proud history of fostering young individuals' skills and commitment to community service.

John Ambulance and Rescue Malta, is a registered non-profit organization that provides First Aid and Rescue Services as well as provides an opportunity for youths to learn first aid, and various life skills, guided by experienced youth leaders. Established on June 6th, 1948, the Youth Section initially began with boys, with the girls joining just a month later. Since then, we have grown into a vibrant and inclusive organisation dedicated to training young people in first aid, rescue, and life-saving skills. This year (2024), we launched our new Rescue program for youth, expanding our training to include comprehensive rescue operations. This addition provides our young members with comprehensive training in rescue operations, enhancing their ability to respond effectively in emergencies. Our mission is to empower youth through education and practical experience, preparing them to become capable and compassionate members of society. We offer a wide range of activities, from first aid training and community service projects to leadership development and team-building exercises. Our programs are designed to be engaging, educational, and fun, ensuring that our members are not only learning valuable skills but also forming lifelong friendships and making a positive impact in their communities. All our programs and activities are volunteer-based, nurturing a spirit of service and commitment in our young members. A tradition of excellence and service that has been nurturing young minds and hearts for over seven decades. Together, we can make a difference! 🌟💚

Be the one who knows what to do.

Through the St John Cadets Programme, young people aged 11–17 learn practical life skills that help them stay prepared, act responsibly, and support others in real-life situations.

Training that builds confidence, awareness, and real-world capability.

Last week, the Paola–Tarxien Youth group held its Annual General Meeting, bringing together families, volunteers, and members to reflect on a year of activity and growth.

Throughout 2025, our youth members took part in training, community service, and team-building activities designed to build confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.

The evening was also an opportunity to share our plans for 2026 as we continue investing in young people and strengthening our community presence.

We’re proud of the progress made and grateful for the continued support from parents and volunteers who make this possible.

During the Annual Review last month, our cadets were proudly presented with their certifications following the successful completion of first aid and high-angle training.

High-angle rescue demands focus, courage, discipline, and trust in one another. By meeting this challenge, our cadets have demonstrated not only technical skill, but the character required to serve when it matters most.

These moments are more than ceremonies marking growth, responsibility, and the steady shaping of the next generation of responders.

We are proud of their commitment and look forward to seeing them continue to rise.

One of the outings marking the close of Cadet Year 2025 was the opportunity to visit Lufthansa Technik Malta for an exciting behind-the-scenes look into the world of aviation ✈️.

The cadets toured the hangars, saw aircraft undergoing maintenance, touched real aircraft materials, and experienced aviation from a completely new perspective — discovering what happens behind the scenes when we’re not just passengers onboard 🛩️🔧.

They thoroughly enjoyed every moment and were fascinated by all they learned throughout the visit.

A huge thank you to Lufthansa Technik Malta for hosting us and making this experience possible 👏

🎭 As part of our Performance Badge, our badgers recently had the chance to work with Mr. Joshua Grogan, Mr. Joshua Grogan, a dedicated drama tutor with over 10 years of experience in the performing arts.

Through fun and interactive activities, Joshua introduced them to the art of voice projection, breathing, and movement, all while helping them grow in confidence and self-expression. 💪✨

We’re so grateful to Joshua for his enthusiasm and guidance — the session was a real hit with our young performers! 🦡💛

🌟 Junior Member Spotlight – Alexei Sciberras 🌟

Alexei, one of our junior members, recently had a once-in-a-lifetime experience! After two years of preparation as an altar boy, he travelled to the Vatican to serve during Mass and assist priests in their duties. 🙏✨

The highlight? Meeting the Pope face to face during the papal audience. A moment filled with faith, inspiration, and joy. 💛🖤

We’re so proud of Alexei for his dedication and commitment. His journey is a true example of service and faith in action.

🌍✈️ In July, our very own Paola Traxien Badger Leader, Joseph Degabriele, joined 7 other amazing Maltese volunteers from Amigos Malta on a life-changing journey to Iquitos and Nauta, Peru 🇵🇪.

Together, they reached out to local communities with open hearts ❤️ providing essential materials, organising fun and meaningful activities, helping build homes 🏠, and offering support in countless ways.

For the past 31 years, AMIGOS has been spreading kindness and hope through missionary trips in Kenya 🇰🇪, Mozambique 🇲🇿, and Brazil 🇧🇷… and this year, for the very first time, their mission touched lives in Peru. 🌟

👏 We are incredibly proud of Joseph and the whole AMIGOS team for showing that when we give our time, skills, and love, we can make the world a brighter place – one community at a time. 💚
