Who Can Volunteer?
The DFVAC accepts volunteers from all walks of life. However, all members who apply are reviewed and interviewed by a New Member Committee. Capable individuals of sound mind and body with no criminal history are eligible to become Active Riding Members. You should not have any major illnesses or handicaps that would prevent you from completing an EMS run or pose a danger to either patients or crewmembers. You should also be able to lift a minimum of 50 lbs.
Potential members should also have a suitable amount of time to commit to volunteering. Whether you're available during the day or would prefer to take an overnight shift, there are always opportunities to help out. The actual amount of time a volunteer puts in varies from person to person and is largely based on personal preference.
Any person under the age of 18 who wishes to join the DFVAC may apply for the Junior Corp but must have parental consent among other requirements. |
