Brooklyn Volunteer Ambulances: Bravo & Park Slope?

[adamNYC]

Since these two are closest to me I'm considering applying for them once I'm certified. Does anyone work for them and can provide details on what its like? Types of calls you go on, any transport work? Minimum shifts you gotta work? How long is orientation? Etc. I've been trying to contact Bravo's recruiting line and haven't heard back from them yet. Going to try Park Slope next.

Thanks guys

Park slopr is prestigious as far as volleys go, and they have money to show for it, they will soon have als units out, they have a lot of members so expect to have your *** dispatching or riding as a third haha. Join a smaller volley so you can ride as a 2nd, not as 3rd. Also park slope makes it seem like a business interview, I got an offer from them but declined

Didn't know there were "3rd wheel" options. How does that generally work? Know anything about minimum shifts a week? How long the orientation is? etc.

Thanks!

You ride as a 3rd person. There's the driver, tech and you.
I think 2 or 3 shifts a month, not sure and their orientation is 2 days if memory serves me right
