Send your interest
Tell us your county, your availability, and any skills you bring — medical, radio, mapping, drone, boat, or simply willing hands.
Volunteer
One more person on the line changes the map.
Volunteers are the reason a search covers ten sectors instead of two. Whether you can walk a field, run a radio, or keep a sign-in table organized, there is a place for you on our roster.
From interest to the field, in four steps
Attend orientation
A short session on safety, chain of command, evidence awareness, and how we work alongside law enforcement.
Train on the basics
Grid line searching, GPS and map reading, radio discipline, and documentation practiced in a field setting.
Join the call-out roster
You are notified when a search is organized in your area. You choose what you can take, every time.
What we ask of every volunteer
These are not formalities. They are what allows a family to trust us with the worst week of their lives, and what keeps our teams welcome at an active scene.
- Be 18 or older, or accompanied by a guardian on approved outreach work
- Follow every briefing, boundary, and stand-down instruction without exception
- Keep case details and family information confidential
- Bring weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy boots, and water
- Never speak to media on behalf of a family or the foundation
- Treat every search area as a place someone's loved one may be found
