Administrative & Technical Volunteer Opportunities

Accounting / Bookkeeping

The accountant provides general bookkeeping services, processes monthly income and expense items, manages payroll, and performs month-end reconciliations and reporting. This position also assists the Treasurer with asset management, depreciation, cash flow planning, and other financial matters. The accountant participates in the annual audit. Prior accounting or bookkeeping experience is required, and familiarity with QuickBooks or similar software is preferred. Most tasks can be completed remotely.

Clerical Support

Clerical tasks vary based on interests, experience, and availability. Opportunities include:

  • Entering data for state, insurance, and other reporting systems (some tasks can be performed from home).
  • Compliance Monitoring – Equipment: Ensuring that equipment calibrations, maintenance, spare parts tracking, and documentation are up to date.
  • Compliance Monitoring – Personnel: Ensuring that training certifications, recertifications, and continuing education records are current and well-documented.

Deployment Filings (Backup)

When District Firefighters are deployed to out-of-district fire incidents, the District bills the State for payroll and related expenses via an online system. Volunteers in this role help review deployment documentation, enter data into the Fire Billing System, and coordinate with the District Accountant for payments. Basic computer skills are required, and this work can be performed remotely.

Designated Election Official (DEO)

The DEO is appointed by the Board to manage all aspects of District elections. Duties include calling for nominations, establishing polling places, printing ballots, appointing Election Judges and watchers, verifying voter lists, certifying ballots, and canvassing votes. If there are no contested offices, the DEO will handle the election cancellation process. The DEO also manages any TABOR or Mill Levy elections.

Medical Training Instructors

If you are certified to teach medical classes, we need you! The Tallahassee Fire Protection District (TFPD) sponsors community medical training programs such as First Aid, CPR/AED, and Stop the Bleed, empowering neighbors to assist each other until emergency medical personnel arrive.

Please Note

Training is provided for all volunteer positions.
