MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
All members are required to complete at minimum four shifts per month which equates to between 16 and 32 hours of volunteer time. We ask that members also attend monthly meetings (first Thursday of each month), be enrolled in an EMT Basic class within two years of joining, and participate in special events and trainings as required. Being part of an ambulance service requires a large amount of time both on and off the ambulance to ensure we can always provide the best possible care to our patients.
After six months of completing our minimum requirements you will be eligible to come off probation and be an active voting member of the organization.
Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps. does offer the New Jersey EMT Voucher which allows eligible members the opportunity to take a EMT class at no charge to them. We are happy to talk about how to take advantage of this opportunity during your interview with us.
