Volunteers
Types of Volunteers

Retired or part-time medical professionals with or without a current license are especially valuable. For each medical professional, our MRC needs at least 5 supporting team members who can direct traffic, drive trucks, act as interpreters, and register people.
There is a place in the MRC for all interested volunteers, including those who are already active in Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and the American Red Cross. You need not be a U.S. citizen to volunteer. Individuals ages 16 - 18 years old need parental permission to join.
