Choosing the right program for you


This online portal provides a centralized registration and communication platform for both the ESAR-VHP and MRC programs in New Jersey. Individuals who are 18 years of age or older and meet the eligibility criteria are invited to register for both programs, expanding their opportunities to serve their community.


Key Differences:

  • ESAR-VHP is for licensed medical professionals only and is managed at the state level, with volunteers potentially deployed to hospitals during emergencies. Note: Students should select the profession they are pursuing.
  • MRC is open to both medical and non-medical volunteers and is managed locally, with a focus on serving the community.
