Kito’s volunteer journey is a powerful example of how dedication and community involvement can grow into meaningful leadership.
Starting in the St. John Ambulance youth program in 2010, he built a strong foundation through camps, competitions, and first aid training. As a Cadet, he gave back early by helping lead weekly trainings and supporting large-scale triage events, showing a commitment not just to learning, but to mentoring others.
In 2020, Kito transitioned into the Medical First Response (MFR) program, where he began providing first aid coverage at a wide range of events. Through hands-on experience and guidance from skilled instructors, he quickly developed both his clinical and operational expertise. His growing leadership led him to take on the responsibility of coordinating local first aid requests. By 2022, he was working alongside Toronto Paramedic Services to help plan and deliver medical coverage for major events, gaining valuable experience in emergency management and large-scale operations.
In 2024, Kito was appointed Unit Chief of the Central Toronto D0001 MFR Unit and Team Lead for the Toronto Region Special Events Task Force, roles that reflect both his expertise and his commitment to service.
For Kiti, volunteering has been more than service hours—it’s been a pathway to real-world experience, strong professional networks, and lasting friendships. He continues to give back, inspiring the next generation of volunteers to step into leadership and make a difference in their communities.
