CHILDREN'S DISASTER SERVICES VOLUNTEER TRAINING
Children’s Disaster Services is a Church of the Brethren Disaster Ministry that involves volunteers from many faith communities who provide a calm, safe and reassuring presence in the midst of the chaos that follows disaster by setting up and operating special childcare centers in disaster locations. Parents are able to meet with resource providers at multiservice response centers, knowing their children are safe.
Training helps volunteers understand and respond to children who have experienced a disaster. The information and resources from this training are beneficial to anyone working with children.
CDS provides specialized training for all its volunteers. The CDS Volunteer Training is a comprehensive 25-hour event that uses applied, experiential activities to help the participants integrate their learning.
