Our Volunteers

Our Volunteers come from all walks of life. Many, but not all, operate boats of their own ranging from small runabouts to converted fishing vessels.

Some have been members of the Unit for almost 30 years and have in the early days provided their own vessels for missions when requested to do so.

The one thing in common among them is their dedication in serving the community on the water. They participate in rescue missions, on-water and classroom training, and public education events.

New members start out with some easy training before attaining New Crew status, and then, as the training continues, progress to Crew, Advanced Crew, and perhaps Coxswain level. Each step is full of new knowledge that ensures the member is at his/her professional best when serving on a mission.
