Volunteer

Responder Care™ is  looking for dedicated volunteers to join our mission of supporting those who serve our communities. Whether you’re interested in administrative work behind the scenes or providing operational support in the field, every contribution counts. There is no set monthly requirement for volunteering—you help when you can, where you can, and how you can. Every minute matters. 

For EMS Clinicians, Responder Care™ offers unique opportunities to use your skills in meaningful ways, from supporting First Responders and their families to providing EMS coverage at special events throughout the community. Our volunteers also benefit from free EMS continuing medical education, the chance to work alongside advanced practice providers in the pre-hospital field, and exposure to integrated models of care through Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) and Community Paramedicine, all with a focus on caring for the First Responders who protect us each and every day. 

If you live or work in Northern Virginia and are an EMS Clinician, First Responder, Public Safety Professional, or a Civilian with an interest or passion in innovative, pre-hospital EMS delivery of care, we invite you to explore the possibilities of volunteering with Responder Care™ and becoming part of a team committed to protecting and caring for those who serve.

As an EMS Clinician volunteering with Responder Care™, you will become an affiliated provider under the EMERGILITY® Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency. This affiliation authorizes you to deliver EMS, Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH), and Community Paramedicine support to First Responders and their families throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia—within your Scope of Practice as defined by the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) and approved by our Operational Medical Director (OMD). In practice, this means that when you are off-duty from your public 911 system or private EMS agency, you can continue to put your training and expertise to work by caring for the health and well-being of the very people who protect and serve our communities. 

Few gifts are more meaningful than offering your time, your skills, and your compassion when fellow First Responders and their families are in need!
