Get Involved
What Alder volunteers do.
Real people, real skills, real neighbourhoods.
The work
More than teaching bandages.
Alder volunteers are educators, organizers, and community builders. Some lead first aid sessions; others run outreach booths, design materials, coordinate events, or help behind the scenes. Every role shares one purpose: making sure more people across the Pacific West Coast know what to do when it matters most.
Teach & coach
Support first aid classes and free community coaching — demonstrating skills, guiding practice, and answering questions. Full training provided; you don't need to arrive as an expert.
Show up in the community
Staff outreach booths and pop-up education stations at neighbourhood events. You're often someone's first conversation about first aid — make it welcoming.
Build behind the scenes
Help design courses and children's books, create content, coordinate logistics, or lend professional skills — from design to data to photography.
Why it matters
A trained neighbour changes the odds.
In an emergency, professional help is minutes away — but a bystander is already there. Volunteers multiply that first link in the chain of survival, one trained community member at a time.
