We are looking to grow our Search and Rescue team. Both adult members and Junior Members (14+) opportunities. You will train to become a land searcher first and foremost.
This volunteer position requires time and dedication. We meet every Thursday from 7-9pm at either Atlantic Coast Veterinary Center or Medford Fire Department. These meetings are class time and this is where you will learn skills.
Every Sunday, from 8-11, we practice out in the field where you will apply your skills. No experience necessary but MUST be willing to dedicate the time as lost people will be relying on our team (meaning you) to find them.
No experience necessary. But if you have medical, EMT, or previous SAR experience let us know. When responding to this opportunity please make sure you truly think about the dedication it will take. But also remember you will be training to help those in need, those who's lives depend on you.
Please make sure when responding to type in the word "navigation" so that we know you read this description.
