Volunteers Make Things Happen

We all think about giving something back in the form of community service.
After all, no matter what our circumstances, we can all count our blessings and reach out in some way to help others.
Volunteering with the West Orange First Aid Squad is extremely fulfilling.
You'll receive all the training you need absolutely free.
First, we will train you in CPR for adults, infants, and children.
You'll learn to use our defibrillators that can restart a heart and bring someone back from cardiac arrest.

Then, you'll go to E.M.T. training and earn certification from the state of New Jersey. With just a bit more orientation from us:
  • How to find any street in town
  • How to drive the ambulances
  • How to find local hospitals
You're ready to become a full badge member with voting privileges.

You'll ride with the same crew each week, building camaraderie and friendships.
Some of our members have been riding for over 20 years.
We will expect you to ride regularly and keep your training current (at no cost to you).
That's no problem because you'll find that you enjoy helping people so much you'll want to be here as much as possible.

If you'd like to try us out, you can observe for up to 4 shifts before committing to a training program.
Just fill out an application and you can ride with the crews, you won't be able to treat patients, of course, but you can see how it feels to be part of the team.
