Frequently Asked Questions:
What does it mean to become a volunteer?
When you join the Bitachon volunteering team, you will take an active role in safeguarding our community. You will be the “eyes and ears” for the community organization during the event or program and support the work of private security guards and/or local law enforcement. You will receive training to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to assist during events and programs in our community. You will also receive a certificate of completion when you finish the training. Along with the training process, you'll be required to undergo a police background check and pass an interview with the Jewish Federation's security personnel.
Do I need to pay to become a volunteer?
No, all training expenses will be covered by Jewish Federation and offered to our volunteers free of charge.
What is the training process?
The training contains four basic training:
- Stop The Bleed training- conducted in person by a professional external company.
- Safety and Awareness training- an online course that typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete, and you can complete it at your own pace.
- De-escalation and Conflict Resolution– an in-person scenario-based training that includes role-play.
- Advanced training will be offered for team leaders.
Aside from the standard training, we might offer additional training opportunities to enhance your knowledge and skill set.
