Volunteer

Come and be
useful.

Every role in this organization is filled by a volunteer. Some come with decades of training. Most come with a willing afternoon and a phone. Both are needed.

No experience needed to start

For several roles, yes — and we will train you. Tell us honestly what you have done and we will place you where you can be useful from week one.

A real commitment

We ask volunteers to keep their training current and to answer when they are able. We would rather have a reliable two hours a month than an enthusiastic promise.

Sent with someone

New volunteers are never sent out alone. You will be paired with someone experienced until you feel steady.

A word to those who have served

Former military and law enforcement are welcome to serve as volunteers. You would serve here as a volunteer, alongside your neighbors, under the same training and the same standards as every other member of the team — and what you already know how to do would be put to good use.

Application

Tell us where you fit.

It takes two minutes. A coordinator reads every application and calls or writes back to talk through next steps — there is no automated screening and no obligation.

Roles we place

  • First Response — Ground support at community emergencies — supplies, cleanup, wellness checks, and steady hands.
  • Chaplain & Ministry — Sitting with families in crisis, prayer, hospital and shelter visits, and follow-up care.
  • Community Outreach — Neighborhood contact, food and supply distribution, and reaching people who will not call for help themselves.
  • Training & Instruction — Teaching readiness, CPR practice, and field skills to new volunteers and to households.
  • Administration — Scheduling, records, logistics, dispatch support, and the quiet work that makes a response possible.
  • International Service — Relief work alongside communities abroad, including preparation, logistics, and deployment support.

Would rather talk first? Call or text 929-642-9645.

Where would you like to serve?

Choose as many as interest you.

Medical, ministry, logistics, driving, languages, radio — anything you would want us to know.

We use your details only to talk with you about volunteering. No experience is required for every role — training is part of the commitment, not a prerequisite.

If you need help rather than a place to serve, use the service request form. For a life threatening emergency, call 911.
