In honor of former Assistant Chief of EMS Operations Alvin Suriel, the FDNY Hispanic Society is proud to offer all FDNY employees a unique opportunity to support family members or friends interested in pursuing New York State EMT certification through a collaboration with Code One. Selected applicants will participate in a comprehensive and rigorous two-month EMT course, scheduled to take place from July through August 2025. In addition to classroom instruction, scholarship recipients will be paired with FDNY Hispanic Society members who will provide career guidance, counseling, and support throughout the program. This initiative was established to honor Chief Suriel’s vision of promoting awareness and strengthening interest in careers within emergency medical services. To request an application and receive further information, please contact the Hispanic Society Secretary at lizette.perez@fdny.nyc.gov. Applications will be accepted through May 30, 2025.
