Join a group of neighbors saving lives in the Town of Mamaroneck & Village of Larchmont.
By becoming a volunteer at Larchmont VAC, you join men and women dedicated to providing lifesaving services to the community. No prior EMS or medical experience is needed — applications are accepted online, year-round, from individuals ages 17 and up.
The application takes about 15 minutes.
A note on junior members: applications for junior membership are currently being accepted but placed on a waitlist. You may apply, but junior applications are processed in May in the order they were received.
The timeline for new members.
From application to riding on the ambulance, here’s how the path looks.
- 01
Apply online
Fill out the application — it takes about 15 minutes. A non-refundable $25 application fee is due at time of application, payable online.
- 02
Interview with the Membership Committee
Interviews are held once a month. If found favorable, the Corps votes to confirm you as a member at the next membership meeting.
- 03
Complete basic training
CPR, two computer-based courses (about four to five hours total), and six in-person workshops. A test confirms you understand the skills you've learned.
- 04
Ride as an observer
Once you pass the test, sign up for observer shifts online. Most members complete their ten-call observer requirement in eight to twelve four-hour shifts.
- 05
Become an attendant
After hitting your call quota and passing a proficiency test, you become an attendant. From there, most members go on to become EMTs, drivers, or both.
Requirements to maintain membership.
We hold ourselves to a high standard so the community gets the care it deserves.
First 90 days are probationary
Complete your training and remain in good standing during your initial probationary period.
100 hours per year, minimum
Members volunteer at least 100 hours each year to remain active. Most contribute far more — the more you put into VAC, the more you get out.
Ongoing training
Members attend a set number of training sessions every year to maintain skills and learn new ones.
School service hours
Due to the training requirements, we are unable to sign school service hours within the first year of membership.
