Allendale, Saddle River, and other communities in Northwest Bergen County depend on us in times of greatest need. Our members become trained Emergency Medical Technicians. The training takes about 5 months and covers the skills necessary to provide Basic Life Support.

If you join the corps, we cover the training. We also need ambulance drivers. This requires some behind-the-wheel training but less emergency training. You need only to be 21, a licensed driver, and willing to help those in need.

If you would like to join our team, please leave your name and number with the Allendale Police Dispatcher at (201) 825–1900. You can also send an e-mail to [email protected]

Thank you for your support!

The Fell House is now listed in the NJ and National Registers of Historic Places. The Concerned Citizens of Allendale rescued the John Fell House from demolition by purchasing the property in 2010. We have since created and operated an historical educational and cultural resource center. The mission continues to restore the home to its original glory by preserving and managing the house, grounds, open space and wetlands. We work with the community and those interested to ensure a self-sustainable, non-profit enterprise and ongoing community service.

DECA’s mission is to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. DECA members participate in competition that may involve role-playing, written tests, and/or research projects. Regional competition generally takes place in January and those students who win become eligible to compete in the three-day New Jersey State Career Development Conference (SCDC). The state winners progress to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in April. To further apply business principles and practices, the members of the club sponsor fundraising projects. Proceeds from these endeavors help to pay for dues and club operations or are donated to worthy charities. Community service projects, public relations projects, creative marketing projects, and other campaigns help to develop leadership, civic consciousness, and social intelligence of the members.
