Adult leaders serve as mentors and instructors to our youth members. They provide guidance and direction for youth members as needed.
Adult leaders are trained in at least BLS Healthcare Provider CPR and Standard First Aid, and are encouraged to complete Emergency Medical Responder training. Operational Advisors participate on standby first aid coverage at community and private events. Events covered include company picnics, parades, marathons in Montgomery County, and events on the National Mall, the Tidal Basin and the White House in Washington, DC. Leaders are encouraged to attend one event, one meeting and one training session per month, and at least 6 standby events as a minimum activity level. There are no minimum requirements, and no previous experience or current certification/license is necessary, training is available. Those who have previous or current training in EMS (EMTs, Paramedics, nurses, etc.) are encouraged to participate!
We can also use Administrative Advisors, who help with the many administrative needs for keeping the Unit running.
