Volunteer Opportunity: Emergency Response Team
Hello and Welcome
BUF’s Safety & Security Team is forming the Emergency Response Team for Sunday Services in order to respond to individuals who are (1) in need of medical assistance or (2) who are experiencing emotional/psychological distress and may be threatening the safety of the congregation.
Those who volunteer for one or both of these scenarios are making the commitment to assist during any Sunday Service in which they happen to be in attendance. Volunteers will not be expected to attend any particular service (e.g. the 4th Sunday of the month) nor will they need to sign up prior to the service.
Training/Refresher courses in first aid & CPR, de-escalation techniques, and dealing with disruptive individuals will be held in the near future.
If you are interested in joining or have questions about Emergency Response Team for Sunday Service or in volunteering to door sit during events, please contact safety@buf.org.
If you are interested in becoming a greeter or usher, please contact hospitality@buf.org.
