Application for Membership

Below is a web link to an electronic application for membership in the Havre de Grace Ambulance Corps, Inc.  Alternatively, you may download the application (second link), fill it out, and mail it to us or drop it off at the station at your convenience.

Thank you for your interest in our organization.  As a public service agency that relies on volunteers, we are constantly in need of new and enthusiastic personnel. 

We have two types of membership:

• Regular Membership – Member is required to complete Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training within 1 year of joining our company, be 18 years of age, and has obtained a high school diploma, G.E.D., or recognized Maryland State Department of Education equivalent.
   
• Associate Membership – Member must live in the 21078 zip code, be 18 years of age, and has obtained a high school diploma, G.E.D., or recognized Maryland State Department of Education equivalent.  Member must complete CPR and AED training yearly and participate in all activities such as meetings, trainings, and special events hosted by the company.  Member does not ride on calls for service but may apply for regular membership at any time.

Becoming an emergency medical care provider is demanding as well as a rewarding experience.  You become part of an elite group of individuals who assist members of your own community on a daily basis, without the benefit of a paycheck.   The work is hard, and the calls for help do not always come at the most convenient times, but the satisfaction of serving your fellow citizens rides high.  We need well-trained personnel to answer calls 24 hours a day, and we hope that you will become one of our best.

Volunteering in EMS is an excellent way to serve your community while gaining invaluable lifesaving experience. Our members perform many duties besides answering 911 calls such as assisting with public education campaigns and engaging the community during local community events. 

Well, if all this seems like a lot, it is.  Being an emergency medical care provider is not an easy job.  Even in the volunteer EMS service, there is a lot of time and training that must be given to do the job right.  Volunteering as an emergency medical service provider is mentally and physically demanding; you will be asked to intervene and provide exemplary service during the worst moments of people’s lives.  Your training is very extensive but manageable if you have strong time management skills.

We work hard to serve the community and to better ourselves as members of it.  We appreciate the offer of your time to serve the community.  The volunteer EMS service requires special people to do a special job.  Your only paycheck will be the satisfaction you derive from the service you give to your community and the friendships you make from the close-knit family of EMR’s, EMT’s and Paramedics you are about to become a part of. 

After submitting your application, it will be forwarded to the company Investigating Committee.  This committee will review your application, run a background check, and will contact you to meet with the committee for an interview and answer any questions you may have.
