“Join our team and make a difference!” reads the squad’s recruitment announcement, which encourages prospective volunteers to contact the organization directly to learn how to get started.
For people looking for a meaningful way to contribute locally, the invitation offers an opportunity to explore service with an organization whose members also take part in community education and outreach.
The squad’s involvement has included activities with The Aliver Foundation, Garwood’s police and fire departments, and local families. At a June 2025 community event marking CPR and AED Awareness Week, squad members participated in a touch-a-truck gathering, while a squad representative led an interactive CPR and automated external defibrillator demonstration. These programs gave residents opportunities to meet the people who serve their community and learn about emergency preparedness.
The current recruitment effort invites others to take the next step toward getting involved. Anyone considering membership can contact the squad to ask about eligibility, training, available roles and time commitments. Speaking directly with the organization will help prospective volunteers understand what participation involves and how to begin.
