Recruitment

For generations, volunteer members have been the foundation of Mid Sussex Rescue Squad. As a nonprofit emergency medical services organization, we rely on the dedication of individuals who believe in giving back to their community.

Our volunteers do more than serve — they lead.

Volunteer members make up the governing body of Mid Sussex Rescue Squad, helping guide the organization's future, make important decisions, and ensure we continue providing quality emergency medical care to our neighbors.Whether you're responding to emergencies, helping with fundraising, assisting with administrative responsibilities, or supporting our operations behind the scenes, every volunteer plays a direct role in the emergency care our community receives.

Across Delaware and the nation, volunteerism has declined significantly in recent years. Like many nonprofit emergency service organizations, Mid Sussex Rescue Squad is facing the challenge of recruiting the next generation of dedicated volunteers.

We need new members now more than ever.

You don't have to be an EMT or have previous emergency services experience to make a difference. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are willing to contribute their time, talents, and dedication.
Every hour volunteered helps strengthen our organization and ensures that when someone in our community calls 911, we're ready to answer.
