Please join us for the first opportunity of 2008 to join the Neighborhood Corps Academy. Below is the schedule for our spring session, beginning in March, as well as our fall session. Register early as there are limited seats! This emergency preparedness initiative is facilitated by Serve DC in the Executive Office of the Mayor, as part of the DC Citizen Corps program.
The overall mission of Serve DC’s DC Citizen Corps program is to provide citizens the training and equipment necessary to help themselves and their communities–to make their communities safer, stronger and better prepared to prevent and handle threats of terrorism, crime, and disasters of all kinds. The Neighborhood Corps Initiative is a neighborhood/community-based training program designed to organize, mobilize, and train residents to respond as a neighborhood/community in the event of a local emergency or disaster. These sessions are customizable and designed to meet neighborhood-specific needs. Please join us in learning first-hand from local first responders and other emergency management professionals.
The Neighborhood Corps Academy is a series of five classes designed to provide advanced emergency response volunteer management and training.
Register now for the 2008 Neighborhood Corps Academy (class schedule displayed below)! For further questions, please contact Amy Ward or call (202) 727-7925.
