If you live in NJ, you can join any local volly squad(even with out EMT certification).
The squad has the ability to give you a sort of grant from the state. It does not include books and equipment you are required to buy.
Just want to chime in for a min. It does not cost the sponsoring squad a dime. All they do is give you a paper that you are a
possibly a future member. This is the way it was a few years ago. I am not sure if it changed.
some places in lakewood started making you promise a certain amount of hours bec everyone was asking them.
In my class in Monmouth medical, almost everyone had a sponsor.
