Volunteering: Narberth Ambulance is made up of nearly seventy members who volunteer their time and services to provide 9-1-1 emergency care to Lower Merion, Narberth, Conshohocken, West Conshohocken and Radnor Townships and Boroughs. Of those members, twenty are state certified Paramedics, and the remainder are state certified E.M.T.s or in the process of training. We have active members who have been volunteering their services for nearly twenty consecutive years! Our volunteer members represent many walks of life when they are not donating their time. We have police officers, teachers, medical examiners, college and high school students, mechanics and postal workers represented by volunteer membership. All volunteers must maintain their level of certification by completing extensive continuing education and volunteering a minimum number of hours each month. We are always welcoming new applicants for volunteer membership.
