Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Ability Tree First Coast! Ability Tree (ATFC) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization. We envision individuals and families living with disabilities being accepted and supported in their local community, enjoying healthy relationships in their neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and churches.
Fulfilling our vision involves people who are compassionate and willing to give of their time and serve on a team. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, take a moment to read about the Event Volunteer position for Medical Professionals.
What is the Event Volunteer: Medical Professional position?
These volunteers would attend our events, especially our respite events, as the Advisory &/or on-site Medical Professional. During our respite events, parents are not on-site. Other events are for the whole family, but having a medical professional provides reassurance and support to our special needs families.
In the on-site Medical capacity, you will be present as a valuable asset for families, volunteers, and the Leadership team. We provide you the Child Profiles for the children attending the respite event so you will be familiar with the important information regarding them. You will serve as the "go-to" person in case of an emergency.
What are the qualities of an Event Medical Professional?
We are looking for volunteers who are engaging, have good communication skills, and would be comfortable assisting someone with a disability.
- You do not have to have experience with the disability population (although preferred), but you must be comfortable and agreeable to provide assistance when needed.
- As mentioned in the title, medical professionals include: Nurses (LPN, RN), Doctors (PA, ARNP, MD), and EMT.
Additional Information:
The hours vary depending on the event. Typically an event is 2-4 hours.
Volunteers in this role will need to go through a background screening.
