Volunteer

The National Comandos de Salvamento volunteers do not receive any salary, but what they do earn is a lot of experience in Prehospital care and training that can include First Aid, Preparation, Prevention, Evacuation in case of disasters, and High Mountain Rescue.   

Prerequisites to be a Comando de Salvamento Volunteer (National)

Minimum age: 14 years.

National Civilian Police background check.

If younger than 18 years, one must present an identity carnet and authorization from parents. 

To be a Volunteer Comando, one must have a good spirit to serve the Salvadoran Public, good human relation skills, and be able to offer his or her service that coincide with the schedule of the Institution. We have collaborated with many international institutions that send volunteers down such as People's Norwegian Aid, medics from San Diego and Washington,and the sister's of St. Joseph Peace. You can read about a volunteers' experience here. For you old Comandos that moved to the States, C'mon down for some good times and catching up with old friends.
