VolunTeer With SNORR

Membership

In order to ensure that every recovery is safe we have developed membership levels that allow new volunteers to work their way through the requirements of becoming a fully certified member.

Provisional Member

Member that is verified and has passed an online exam that demonstrates basic recovery knowledge, has attended the SNORR basic off-road safety and recovery 101 class, and meets the minimum gear requirements. These new members will be required to respond to recoveries with other Certified members only and not be allowed to respond solo or without another certified member.

If you have existing recovery experience you can prepare for the exam by going through the recommended reading list, but it’s best to start by attending one of our classes.

A Basic Lifesaving CPR and stop the bleed class, Tread Lightly course and a GMRS Radio license issued by FCC are also required. Lastly, these members will attend a certification course hosted by SNORR leadership for the final sign-off.
