Becoming a TCSAR Volunteer

Teton County Search & Rescue consists of nearly 50 operational volunteers. These are the first people called on for a rescue incident in Teton County, Wyo. All operational members are trained in various types of technical rescues. New members are recruited on an as-needed basis. The period between recruitment calls is about 3-5 years. In the last 32 years at TCSAR, the team has added 12 different classes of volunteers, the last one being in 2025.

Provisional members attend both special introductory training and regular operational training. They are considered as associates during incidents for their first year. After a one-year period, each provisional member’s suitability for the team is evaluated and the new operational members are selected.
