Have some time? Have some desire? We are always looking for new volunteers to help the community. 
The Southampton Volunteer Ambulance is always looking for volunteers to join our team. We have three basic types of membership: Active, Probationary, and Inactive membership. Active and probationary members ride on the ambulance and participate in Emergency Medical calls.

2. Prepare to bring 3 letters of recommendation from members of the Southampton community.
   
   
3. Copy your driver's license and submit it at the interview.

Once your application has been received, Adele Kristiansson, Membership Committee Chairperson, or one of the Committee Members will contact you to plan an interview.  Please feel free to contact Adele Kristiansson at SVA Headquarters.
