 Live a life less ordinary.
The Guardian Angels Safety Patrol is a volunteer opportunity like few others. For some, it is a way of “paying forward” or “giving back” to their community. Others love the excitement and thrills. For some it’s good exercise and a great workout. And others enjoy the teamwork, camaraderie and esprit de corps that comes with working with like-minded individuals carrying out a difficult and challenging assignment..
Whatever your reason for Patrolling as a Guardian Angel, you will be directly contributing to the public safety of your community, making it a better place for ordinary people to live. And you will be helping your fellow citizens at a time when they need it most: when they are in danger of being victims of crime, and when there is nobody else around to help them. Few volunteer opportunities provide the chance for ordinary people to affect the lives of so many of their fellow human beings so dramatically and so directly.
Whether you are volunteering to be a Safety Patrol member, or a Chapter Leader, you will be trained in useful, practical skills, such as:
- First Aid
- CPR
- Self-defense
- Legal principles
- Communication
- People skills
- Leadership
- Teamwork
You will use these skills out in the streets where you will Patrol: they are equally useful in your day-to-day life and in the workplace. Being a Guardian Angels volunteer looks fantastic on your CV: it is good, solid work experience that can be referenced. Best of all, our training is free: all you need to do is commit yourself and then show up.
As a Guardian Angel you will gain self-confidence and self-respect as you learn and develop. You will become a better person because you Dare to Care.
What else can we tell you? Everyone is welcome to volunteer: we do not discriminate on any basis at all. Any race, any gender, any culture, any political or religious persuasion, able or disabled. If you are a person of good, genuine intentions who wants to make your community a safer place, we would like to hear from you.
