St. John Ambulance volunteers give their time to provide community services to the people around them. There are several avenues for volunteers to learn new skills and use them in their communities. Volunteers learn how to become a First Aid provider—delivering patient care at a variety of sporting and cultural events. Volunteers have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, including leadership, communication and interpersonal skills. Adult volunteers often develop long-lasting friendships, both within the group and with the people they serve. Volunteers enjoy being an important contributor to their community. St. John Ambulance volunteers are invaluable.

Our volunteers are concerned about the health, safety and quality of life.  As such, many of our volunteers are placed in a position of trust with those who are vulnerable, whether providing First Aid to someone who is injured, providing leadership and guidance, caring for someone  and/or mentoring young people.  Our volunteers can be trusted to provide their services with expertise and confidence. 

Each volunteer applicant is required to comply with a volunteer screening which includes reference checks, police records checks, and in some cases specialized testing.  Following completion of these first steps, each volunteer will undergo orientation and training.  Each volunteer has an annual performance assessment to ensure that they continue to maintain St. John's high standards and that SJA meets their expectations, including their goals, skill sets and training requirements.
