Welcome to VitalRoots CPR, where our mission goes beyond teaching lifesaving skills. Here at VitalRoots, we believe in the power of community, resilience, and growth—values that shape every CPR class we offer. Just as we plant seeds to cultivate life and nurture the Earth, we aim to plant seeds of knowledge and empowerment within each individual. Our CPR training sessions are designed to equip you with essential skills while fostering a sense of responsibility, unity, and care for those around us. Join us in creating a safer, more connected community, where each person holds the potential to be a lifeline for others. Together, we’re not just learning CPR; we’re cultivating a culture of compassion and readiness to serve.
We provide high quality CPR trainings in Riverside and San Diego Counties, bringing all of the equipment to you! This style allows the classes to be very versatile, we could host the class in-home for your family, neighbors, and friends, in-office for your team, or in a public space/ park for your community. You can choose to do an Intructor-Led course which is about 4 hours in person and requires access to Audio/Visual equipment to show the videos or a Blended Learning option which is available through the American Red Cross which will provide 2 hours of online instruction and a 2 hour in person skills session to get hands on experience and strengthen the skills learned through the online portion.
