JOIN EDSAR

FIND YOUR PURPOSE

Join El Dorado Search and Rescue and save lives, serve your community, and challenge yourself physically and intellectually.

Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a tech-savvy organizer, or a compassionate community advocate, we have volunteer opportunities for everyone.

Field Positions: For those who thrive on physical challenges and enjoy the outdoors.
Management Positions: For individuals with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a passion for technology.
Auxiliary Staff: For those interested in coordinating logistics, community outreach, and fundraising efforts.

Volunteering with EDSAR requires commitment. You'll need to attend monthly training exercises and meetings and respond to at least 50% of call-outs. However, the rewards and sense of belonging is incredibly fulfilling.
