Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) Training

POC: Steffany Coker Steffany.Coker@ServeAlabama.gov 334-242-1276

Registration: https://www.servealabama.gov/disaster-preparedness-trainings

Course Description:

Training attendees will gain the skills to establish a local Volunteer Reception Center (VRC). VRC Training will prepare participants to staff VRCs that will register and place spontaneous volunteers in times of disaster. These centers ensure that volunteers are given meaningful and constructive opportunities to satisfy their desire to assist in a time of need, while not overwhelming the affected community during the disaster response and recovery process. The training includes an interactive VRC exercise where participants experience the VRC model and practice managing spontaneous volunteers.
