Opportunity Details
Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) Training - Express Interest
The City of Alexandria Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) is a disaster response organization, activated by the Office of Emergency Management.
The Volunteer Reception Center is like the HR Dept. of Disaster Recovery. We mobilize community volunteers in a disaster, to where they are needed.
A Volunteer Reception Center is staffed by a group of trained Volunteers and Volunteer Leaders to serve in a capacity to quickly register, train, and deploy new community volunteers. This helps support disaster response and recovery efforts safely and efficiently. VRC training gives you the knowledge and tools to be part of the operations staff of the VRC when it is activated after a disaster.
What does that look like?
After the initial impact of a disaster, people often look to help their communities, as they are able. Some have training or are part of organizations that participate in response, but many are not. Many are just people that spontaneously feel the need to make things better, and want to help.
The VRC provides a central point for these community volunteers to become an integral part of the disaster recovery process. We work with disaster responders and agencies to help fill their needs for extra hands, to meet the needs of the community.
If you are interested in this training, please register below, and we will contact you with upcoming class information, or how to host a class for your group or community organization.
