GoodWorks at DMV SummerJam: Empowering Youth with Life-Saving Skills

In an electrifying display of youth-led empowerment, GoodWorks, a Gen-Z driven lifesaving organization, made a significant impact at the DMV SummerJam, a live music festival that drew several hundred attendees. With the motto "we make learning to save a life easier" written on DIY cardboard signs, GoodWorks left an indelible mark on festival-goers, proving that education and entertainment can coexist in the most unexpected of places. Their presence at the DMV SummerJam was not a mere coincidence. GoodWorks was officially invited by local rap artist Fat Trel to host a "health literacy Pop-Up" at the festival. This collaboration demonstrated the power of music and community coming together for a purpose beyond the stage. At the heart of this Pop-Up was an incredible opportunity for festival attendees to acquire life-saving skills in just 15 minutes, all while enjoying the festival's vibrant atmosphere. GoodWorks didn't stop at the basics; they offered a comprehensive educational experience. Festival participants had the chance to engage in informative discussions and access educational materials. The centerpiece of the Pop-Up was the GoodWorks booth, where festival-goers could roll up their sleeves, both literally and metaphorically. Here, they practiced essential life-saving techniques, including CPR chest compressions. Beyond that, they delved into topics like identifying the signs of an overdose, understanding Narcan use, and learning how to assist someone experiencing severe bleeding from a traumatic injury. GoodWorks is on a mission to save lives, with a particular focus on the youth, especially in communities that endure the most trauma. They are not content with youth merely being witnesses to emergency situations; they are cultivating a generation that is equipped to take action. This dedication to education and action is a testament to their commitment to reducing preventable deaths and injuries during emergencies. GoodWorks is proving that learning to save a life isn't just an obligation; it's an empowering experience that transcends traditional boundaries. As they continue to inspire and educate, GoodWorks exemplifies the potential for positive change when young leaders take the initiative to empower their peers. Their presence at DMV SummerJam was not just a performance; it was a lifeline to safer, more informed communities.
