    State Event Coordinator - Massachusetts

    About Us

    QRFup is dedicated to providing crisis intervention, mental health support and suicide prevention resources for Veterans and First Responders. We work to ensure that those who have served or are currently serving our communities receive the critical care and support they need during times of crisis. We are looking for many more volunteers to ensure our mission is a success. If you have time you'd like to dedicate to the men and women who serve you and your community, QRFup is a great way to do that.

    QRFup is self funded by its Board of Directors. Everyone is a volunteer, with the majority of positions being full time. We are licensed in the United States, which means anyone who volunteers for us must live within the United States. Applications outside of the United States cannot be considered.
