How do you become a Volunteer?
In order to become a volunteer, one must complete an application and a volunteer training session. In addition, background checks are required and, for our drivers, an MVA check is required as well as copy of driver's license and current auto insurance information. For the health and safety of members, volunteers are strongly encouraged to receive annual flu shots and to obtain CPR certification.
