FEMA
is accepting applications for the 2022 Youth Preparedness Council. If you know a teen interested
in preparedness and community service, encourage them to apply.
The diverse and
distinguished council was created in 2012 to bring together youth leaders
interested in supporting disaster preparedness and making a difference in their
communities. During their one-year term on the virtual council, members meet
peers from across the country, build leadership skills and serve their schools
and communities. Members also have the unique opportunity to participate in an
annual summit, and share their perspectives, feedback and opinions directly
with FEMA leaders and staff.
This opportunity
is open for students in grades 8 through 11. Members are chosen based on their
passion for preparedness and helping others, their involvement in their
community and their ability to work in a team and as a leader. All applications
are due no later than 11:59 p.m. PT on March 6.
FEMA will host
an applicant information session on Feb. 17 for those
interested in learning more about the council and the application process.
