Get involved
As a Non-Profit Organization with Mission to serve the Community, ODART relies heavily on both Pilot and Ground Volunteers at various staging locations.
Roles
Role names come from ODART's published volunteer network. Detailed requirements are marked below because they are not published on the current site.
General aviation pilots flying cargo, personnel, and aerial survey sorties.

Staging locations
Locations listed on ODART's legacy volunteer and contact forms.
Needs ODART input
[INSERT CONFIRMED STAGING LOCATION ADDRESSES, MEETING SCHEDULES AND LOCAL POINTS OF CONTACT], and confirm whether additional DART locations should be listed.
Registration
ODART's current volunteer sign-up asks for contact details, state, pilot certificate level, instrument rating status, and whether you prefer flying operations, ground operations, or both.
VPOIDS registration — needs ODART confirmation
[INSERT CONFIRMED VPOIDS URL] — the current ODART site collects volunteer registrations with the on-site form below rather than an external system, and no VPOIDS destination is published there. Confirm the VPOIDS URL (or whether registration should stay on ODART’s site) and it will be wired to a clear external registration CTA.
