Volunteers are a very important part of our team. We rely on volunteers to assist in our drowning prevention efforts, smoke detector program, car seat clinic scribes and various other weekend activities throughout the year. We also have some availability in our front office as well. Unfortunately, we do not have volunteer firefighter or medic programs.
