Free CPR & First Aid Classes in Portland

CPR For All provides free, hands-on CPR and First Aid education to Portland-area residents and communities across Oregon — supported by local sponsors and community partners.

Why CPR For All Exists

Because everyone deserves the chance to help.

Every year, people witness cardiac emergencies at home, work, schools, parks, and sporting events. Too many feel helpless because they never had the opportunity to learn CPR.

CPR For All exists to remove financial barriers and make lifesaving education available to everyone through free community classes supported by local sponsors and community partners.

Built on Experience

Years of training, now free for everyone.

CPR For All is led by Ryan, a Portland native, former U.S. Air Force firefighter, and CPR instructor who has trained more than 9,000 people in CPR and First Aid throughout Oregon.

After years of teaching lifesaving skills, CPR For All was created with one simple goal: to remove financial barriers so everyone has the opportunity to learn CPR and First Aid.

Our Mission

Lifesaving skills belong to everyone.

Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere — at home, at work, on a sidewalk. The person most likely to save a life is not a paramedic. It is a neighbor, a coworker, a bystander.

CPR For All exists so that cost is never the reason someone doesn't know what to do. Every class is free. Everyone is welcome. No experience required.
