Happy New Year from the RedRover Responders team!
January 2nd, 2024
By Claire Downie, Membership and Administrative Assistant
For many of us, New Year’s resolutions are floating around our minds for the month of January. For those of us still thinking about our resolutions for 2024, why not resolve to become a RedRover Responders volunteer in 2024?
The RedRover Responders program traveled all across the country on 15 deployments in 2023. None of this work would be possible without our volunteer team, who generously donate their time on these deployments. From Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) with community cats in Wakulla County, Florida to building safe dog enclosures for families in Detroit, Michigan, our incredible volunteers jumped right in to help at every turn. While no two deployments are the same, every RedRover Responders volunteer touched the lives of beloved companion animals in 2023.
We welcome volunteers at all levels of experience – starting with a desire to help animals and their people!
Become a RedRover Responders volunteer in three easy steps:
- Step 1: Register and complete the free online training. This self-paced training will take about 2-3 hours to complete. Here is the direct link: RedRover.org/joinresponders
- Step 2: Complete the FEMA course IS-100c, an introduction to the Incident Command System. This is also a self-paced and free course, and must be completed prior to your first deployment.
- Step 3: Once you complete the online training, you will receive a welcome email within 30 days with further details!
