About the volunteering opportunity
On the spot in any terrain: the volunteer Johanniter all-terrain vehicle unit has been in existence since August 2024 and is intended for use in civil protection. With two all-terrain emergency vehicles, known as utility vehicles (UTVs), the unit can get to the scene quickly, even in the most adverse ground conditions in any environment. Steep slopes in the forest, muddy depressions or even a stream are no problem.
