This may be a difficult place to get a local answer from. I would start shooting emails or making phone calls to departments in your area. If a dept has a website, they'll usually post that they have an explorer/Jr program. Your school counselor (or whatever they're called at your school) may be able to help you find something as well.

The Explorer program is ran by Learning For Life, a part of the Boy Scouts. The contact info to your local office is:

Learning for Life
2241 Woodland Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44115
Phone: (216) 861-6060

Hopefully this helps, and someone from your area sees this! Have fun.

I don't know what part of NorthEast Ohio you are from, but Willoughby and Mentor FD's have FireExplorer programs.
