The Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization which provides Hoboken's 911 Emergency Medical Services.
Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers! If you are interested in driving or staffing the ambulance, or volunteering in any other way (administrative, fundraising, mechanic, radio, computer/web, etc.) please give us a call 201.420.2135, stop by our station at 707 Clinton St., or fill out the form below.
Flexible Scheduling
Volunteers must complete a Healthcare Provider CPR course (given regularly at our building) and are expected to complete any four 5-hour shifts of their choice per month, and can begin riding the ambulance during their training (after completion of CPR).
