VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Trainer Team
Get involved in your community by launching an ECHO Campus, where you’ll train others in lifesaving CPR techniques. This hands-on role allows you to connect directly with community members and make a measurable impact. You'll serve as a local leader in spreading CPR awareness and preparedness.
Fundraising Team
Support the mission to fight sudden cardiac arrest by organizing creative and impactful fundraising campaigns. From community events to online drives, your efforts will help fund CPR training, resources, and outreach. Every dollar you raise brings life-saving skills to more people.
Recruitment Team
Help expand the ECHO network by identifying and reaching out to schools interested in starting their own campuses. You'll work with student leaders, pre-health organizations, and administrators to establish new places for CPR education. Your outreach will directly lead to more trained communities and saved lives.

FAQs
-
As a trainer, you’re a community leader. Each CPR session you train counts as one volunteer hour. Once ECHO Campuses meet their goals for the semester, Arielle can serve as a reference for job applications and will happily write letters of recommendation upon request.
-
It will take approximately 1-2 business days for your campus to be added to our website. However, your ECHO campus begins as soon as you have an ECHO Champion (representative for your campus)!
-
TO borrow materials: contact your campus nurse or police, they typically have 1 or 2 CPR dummies that they will let you borrow. Or, if there is a nearby community college or EMS station, they will most likely let you borrow them.
To buy: Fundraise, or partner with your school health organization/EMT club to receive funding to purchase your CPR materials.
-
No! Sometimes small-group CPR sessions can be more beneficial. We do recommend, however, that your group is larger than 3 people and under 30 people. The recommended maximum is so that each person gets to practice hands-on skills.
