Help Us Celebrate 75 Years!
The GRVAC started operations on September 16th, 1951. If you have been "thinking about joining", now is the perfect time to become a member. You will be part of the GRVAC's historic preparation of our 75th anniversary. At the same time, the GRVAC will be participating in Glen Rock's preparation for next year's, year-long celebration of our country's 250th birthday.
There are so many reasons why you will be glad you did. The most important reason of all is the rewarding experience of helping people in their time of need. Take a moment and think about the personal satisfaction and fulfillment of helping a child or assisting an elderly person in an emergency situation. Or, supporting the members of our brave fire department when they put their lives on the line. These rewarding experiences are the reasons our members continue to volunteer. Make the time to chat with us and you will understand why you should consider joining us now.

Attention All Nurses! Few people are more qualified or prepared to volunteer in EMS than registered nurses. The Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps needs professionals like you to become an EMT. Nurses can “fast track” EMT certification by taking an expedited 24-hour course that is starting soon. If you have children, we offer free babysitting while you attend the classes.

We feel a tremendous amount of satisfaction from helping our neighbors during their times of need. Some of our patients refer to us as “Glen Rock’s Angels!” Having undergone the same training as any paid, or hospital ambulance service, we add the valuable comfort of treating our patients as neighbors and families.
Due to our common mission to help others, we share a close bond as a family and support each other during good and bad times in our own personal lives. Whether you are an empty nester, retired from your career, or a young parent wanting to contribute to your community, the GRVAC is a great opportunity for you to learn valuable skills and connect in the community.
We always need new members to continue our tradition of service to Glen Rock. Classes start very soon and we offer free babysitting for your children while you attend classes as well as free babysitting for members riding daytime shifts. No previous medical experience is needed and the training program is free as well. Once you complete training and pass the state exam, we will train you on our specific equipment and the operation of our vehicles.

I joined the Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps right as the Covid pandemic hit. It's been a crazy year, but has been incredibly rewarding. Becoming a member of the GRVAC was a small way for me to volunteer and give back to this community that my family and I love so much. I had no previous medical background, but the training I received through the EMT class and the ongoing learning as a member of the GRVAC has given me the confidence to help care for Glen Rockers when they need it! Gregg Vicinanza - President |
As a 24-year resident of Glen Rock, I started volunteering as a GRVAC driver to give back to our town when my son Andrew became an EMT. I knew I wanted to become an EMT in the future and I finally did. I enjoyed EMT school where I honed my skills, gained valuable knowledge and met many wonderful people. It’s rewarding to be part of such an amazing, dedicated group of volunteers that make up GRVAC. I have been in the medical field for the last 37 years and always enjoyed working with patients. I also serve as the President of the Glen Rock Soccer Club. Between soccer, my work and being an EMT, it gives me the great satisfaction of growing each day. Being an EMT allows me to help my neighbors and contribute to my community and for that I am grateful. Erik Bober - Chief |
