If you have been "thinking about It" like all of our members did before joining, please contact us. 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. |

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 |
I always wanted a career in emergency services, so after college, I volunteered at the GRVAC. That decision has paved the path to gain the confidence and skills necessary. I have enjoyed the numerous opportunities afforded me at the GRVAC for training, and growth. I am also happy to be part of the GRVAC family. I have met, and worked alongside so many people. I must say though, that some of the best people I know are my colleagues at the GRVAC. I highly recommend your consideration to join the GRVAC. You will be happy you did.
