Neighbors Helping Neighbors — Since 1934.
Volunteering with North Sea isn’t about being a hero — it’s about being there for the people who live beside you. Every time the pager goes off, someone in our community needs help, and it’s volunteers — neighbors just like you — who step forward. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could make a real difference, the answer is yes. Here's what becoming a member can offer you:
-
Make a real impact — protect your neighbors and your community.
-
Join a second family — teamwork, support, and lifelong friendships.
-
No experience needed — all training and gear provided at no cost. (NYS now offers STIPENDS for FF1)
-
Build real-world skills — leadership, confidence, and problem-solving under pressure.
-
Earn valuable benefits — Certain financial incentives are available for qualifying active volunteers, including LOSAP and potential tax credits. Eligibility and participation requirements apply.
-
Serve where you live — take pride in protecting the place you call home.
