Sign Up as Support Volunteer  in WASHOE COUNTY ARES

A Support Volunteer is a community member who assists WC‑ARES during events, trainings, exercises, or administrative tasks. Support Volunteers help strengthen operations by providing logistical, organizational, and non‑tactical support. No amateur radio license is required, though obtaining one is encouraged. A GMRS license is also recommended for those who want to participate more actively in voice communications. 

The Support Volunteer Program expands WC‑ARES capability by welcoming community members, new radio operators, and served‑agency partners to participate in approved support roles. This program increases manpower, improves event flow, and encourages future membership and radio licensing.
