Our volunteers have started their careers here at Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad for many reasons.
Maybe you have felt the same?
Whatever the reason, when you join Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue squad, you will find a dedicated, diverse, and welcoming group of members.
Do you enjoy helping people, giving back to your community, and learning new things? This is a great opportunity for you to do all that and more. Operational members are the backbone of our rescue squad. You will receive free training to become an EMT, AEMT, and paramedic. You will also receive free training if you wish to drive an ambulance. These classes are held in-station or at the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Training Center in Leesburg with both night and day classes available. Operational members commit to volunteer 24 hours a month.
Want to help at the Squad, but not interested in riding on the ambulance? Administrative members do not run emergency medical calls but provide a variety of administrative and support functions. Administrative members bring their unique skills to our Station and assist with a variety of tasks. Our Office Administrator works closely with administrative members and oversees many of their administrative activities. Administrative members commit to volunteer a minimum of 8 hours a month.
Our Auxiliary Members provide administrative and fund-raising support for both the operational and Administrative sides of the Station. Auxiliary Members organize the Station’s banquet and fund raising projects. The Auxiliary has been an integral part of LCVRS since 1970.
Chaplains may be dispatched as needed. Chaplains are also available by request. Chaplains are trained to provide emotional support to victims, families, and friends who are impacted by an emergency, regardless of your faith. Chaplains also provide faith-based support as requested. Our Chaplains can be dispatched to assist with loss and grief, domestic violence or thoughts of suicide.
