HELP ENSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS READY FOR AN EMERGENCY!

Volunteer Reception Centers (VRC) are a critical component to managing spontaneous volunteer workforce in emergency response and recovery. When natural disasters occur, oftentimes people come from all over the country to offer their time and skills to help rebuild communities affected by the devastation. Volunteers come with diverse skills and ability levels and there is sometimes confusion as to how best to utilize these human resources. A VRC screens and organizes volunteers during this time to maximize the productivity of the generous people offering to help as well as keep communities safe during the recovery and rebuilding process.

We need your help in building a team of community members with the ability to work together and to turn a crowd of spontaneous volunteers into an asset and a workforce. Join us for the Volunteer Reception Center Spring Training to learn about this process, and, if you choose, become a member of this vital team.

To register call the office at 715.507.5005. Taking place on Tuesday, April 9th from 5 to 6:30pm at the Forward Bank Community Room (lower level). 

Please note:  Anyone is invited to join this training. Anyone interested in joining the VRC team for north Wood County must attend the training, even if you have attended them in the past.
