Join Us!

IF YOU:

• are interested in helping others
• live, work, or go to school in the Madison area 
• are at least 18 years of age
• are interested in learning CPR and other emergency or potential life-saving skills

... then we need to hear from you!

We are eager for volunteers to be an EMT who can serve on at least one 12-hour shift each week and one Saturday day shift each quarter. If you are at least 18 years old, you can volunteer to be an EMT member. 

All new members who want to become EMTs are taught and certified in CPR and are enrolled in an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course taught by professionals in emergency medicine. Tuition is fully paid by the Corps, once you pass the course. Upon successful completion of the course, a member is certified as an EMT by the State of New Jersey.

It is easy to join our Corps and we welcome inquiries as to how to join. To volunteer as an EMT member, please e-mail our membership team at join@madisonems.org. To download a membership application, click here. Email us! We would love to hear from you!
