Cadet Volunteer Program – A Step into Healthcare
Dove Creek Ambulance District is excited to offer a unique opportunity for high school students aged 16 to 18 through our **Cadet Volunteer Program**. This program allows cadets to work side by side with our experienced EMS providers, gaining firsthand experience in emergency medical services.
As part of the program, cadets will be enrolled in an **Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) class**, which prepares them to sit for the National Registry of EMTs exam and earn Colorado State Certification. The cost of the EMR class is fully covered by DCAD, making this an incredible opportunity to gain valuable skills without financial burden.
Cadets are required to commit to a minimum of 24 hours of shift work per quarter and attend all EMR classes. This experience not only expands your education and skill set but also provides a great way to gauge your interest in a future career in healthcare.
Additionally, cadet volunteers can earn valuable volunteer hours for resumes, scholarship applications, and college admissions. Whether you’re interested in EMS, nursing, firefighting, or public safety, this program is a fantastic stepping stone into the healthcare field.
