Marshfield Area United Way to Host Volunteer Reception Center Training For Natural Disaster Preparedness
Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 -- 7:49 AM
When natural disasters occur often times people come from all over to offer their time and skills to help rebuild communities affected by the devastation.A Volunteer Reception Center screens and organizes volunteers during this time to keep communities safe and to maximize the productivity of the individuals offering to help communities through the recovery and rebuilding process. Marshfield Area United Way will be having a two-part training series on Tuesday April 5 & 12 for individuals interested in becoming part of the response team for the northern part of Wood County. Both of the training dates will begin at 5:00pm and will be held in the back of the United Way office.
The first training session, on Tuesday, April 5, will be a classroom-setting where the how and why of a Volunteer Reception Center will be explained. The second training session, on Tuesday, April 12, is a mock exercise where volunteers will be given a scenario and a Volunteer Reception Center will need to be established within a certain amount of time.
Dinner will be provided on the evening of April 5th and snacks will be provided on the evening of April 12.
