Our volunteer selection process is as follows:

Complete a digital application. Be sure to include an email and phone number for a reference and digitally sign the application. Applications are processed through Ridgewood VAC and must be submitted with all requested information.
Operations will then review all applications to make sure they are complete.

Once the application has been fully reviewed, we will send you an email letting you know the status of your application.
If you are invited to join our corps and come to an orientation, all required training and documents must be submitted prior to the orientation date.
Orientations are run by Operations and the Director of Training and the curriculum accommodates 10 new members at a time.
Certified EMTs will be required to pass a test and show practical and lifting skills prior to moving into an EMT Trainee position.
Members who successfully complete orientation will then be on probation for a minimum of 90 days.
If you are an experienced EMT currently working full-time for an agency for at least one consecutive year, you may be eligible for advance standing once you are accepted as a member with a letter from your agency verifying your employment.
