NEAR is recruiting additional volunteers to serve on our five response teams.
Each team consists of 5-6 volunteers and is on call for one week (Tuesday to Tuesday) every five weeks. Team members trade days and times as needed to balance their personal schedules/appointments.
No medical background is required but all NEAR Team members must obtain certification in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Bloodborne pathogens. Training can be done online, allowing you to complete the courses at your own pace. If you join a team, NEAR will reimburse you for the cost of training and will follow-up with hands-on training so you can practice your skills and build confidence.
BOTTOM LINE, NEAR NEEDS YOUR HELP AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY, THIS COULD BE A GOOD FIT.
If you would like to learn more, please email [email protected] and plan to join us for an informational meeting on June 4 at 10 am in the Tempo Lounge to get more details.
