ARE YOU READY TO JOIN KSAR?
WE’RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU WITH US!
THE path TO MEMBERSHIP BEGINS HERE
KSAR is looking for positive team oriented people to join our team. Onboarding starts with attending a Meet and Greet, completing an application and background check. You will then meet with the Board for an interview. Early 2023 onboarding is closed. In the meantime, please browse our website, complete an application or email for more information and we will inform you of our next Meet and Greet. We look forward to meeting you!
Our members are from all areas and backgrounds of society and are brought together by one purpose: to serve our communities and our state by providing the requesting agencies with a highly-trained, self-sustained search and rescue team. Although our searchers are all volunteers, they are held to the highest standards and train year round to remain ready for the next mission when it arises.
KSAR is always looking for dedicated individuals to join as dog handlers or support personnel. No previous search and rescue experience is required as we are always seeking all types of skill sets for various search missions and training events. KSAR will help you get training and members are not required to have a dog. Becoming a KSAR member is a commitment and not one made lightly. However, volunteering your time to help save lives can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
A few things to expect:
Candidates must go through an evaluation & background check
Accepted candidates go through a probation phase
Members are all volunteers and provide their own equipment according to KSAR’s requirements
Members must meet certain physical requirements to be deployed in the field, however, we welcome all levels of capabilities for other vital support duties
Members must attend regular meetings and trainings
If you are passionate about helping your community and would like to be a part of a team of like-minded individuals, feel free to reach out to us at logistics@kauaisar.com. Our Meet and Greets are a great way to see what we do and meet some of the team.
If you are ready to join the team, we encourage you to review requirements and complete the online Membership Application. Our Membership Team will review your application and reach out to you with information about the next steps in the process. Please be patient as we can only onboard new members once or twice a year.
