Teton County Search & Rescue is excited to announce that it will bring on a new class of volunteers in 2025. With the team currently standing at 38 volunteers, new class members help infuse new energy to the ranks while allowing more seasoned volunteers the chance to pass on their knowledge to ensure a bright future for TCSAR.
If you are looking for the opportunity to become a volunteer and make a positive impact on our community, the team invites you to apply.
Many people often think that you need to be a rockstar in the backcountry in order to be a TCSAR volunteer. While skills in mountain navigation and backcountry medicine are helpful, TCSAR volunteers stress that the most important skill for being on the team is the ability to be a strong teammate. There are no heroes—just good people who work together to get the job done.
““Joining TCSAR has been an amazing journey and I am so grateful for the opportunity to support our community. We all love exploring and recreating in the mountains and inevitably things can go wrong. Being there to support folks on their worst day with the goal of making it a little less awful is incredibly rewarding.””
Timing
TCSAR is accepting applications from new recruits until January 31, 2025.
From there, the team will review applications and conduct several rounds of interviews to narrow the pool of candidates to form a new class this spring/early summer. Once selected, new members will be probationary for a full year. During that first year, they complete at least 200 hours of training and demonstrate their ability to work well as a team.
