Try all the agencies in your area even if you have to do the volly thing first, it will get your foot in the door of EMS. Then you can keep trying all the paid agencies in your area. Best thing is to keep trying eventually it will happen. You may have to put in more than one application keep going back let them know you are interested. Confidence is the name of the game in EMS.

Where are you from in Pennsylvania? If you don't want to say which county, just say North West, South West, North Central, South Central, North East, South East... And I can probably help you.
