Type

The types of membership that we offer are determined by our Constitution and General Orders. Currently, we have 4 classes of membership:

• Senior Members: Senior members are the backbone of the squad. Primarily operational staff (EMTs, drivers, rescue specialists), senior members devote a minimum of 48 hours a month to the squad, of which 24 must be duty hours. Senior members are voting members of the squad and are eligible to hold any office within our organization.
• Associate Members (Operational): Associate operational members are people who want to serve their community as operational members of the LCVRS, but who cannot devote 48 hours a month. Instead, they commit 24 hours a month including a minimum of 12 duty hours. Associate members may vote, but are not eligible to hold most offices.
• Administrative Members: Sometimes referred to as “non-running associates,” associate members do not run calls. Instead, they volunteer time to assist the squad with a variety of administrative and support functions. Non-running associate members commit 12 hours a month as determined by the member, president, and chief. Associate members may vote, but are not eligible to hold most offices.
• Junior Members: Junior members are high school students at least 16 years of age. Under specific guidelines they are expected to commit at least 24 hours a month. Junior members may be either operational or administrative. The junior program has its own officer hierarchy and, as a group, they have 1 vote in squad matters.
