FEMA Seeks Leaders for Youth Preparedness
Council
FEMA is accepting applications for the
Youth Preparedness Council, a program that brings teens together from across
the nation who are interested and engaged in community preparedness.
National Leaders in Emergency Preparedness
Council members
are selected based on their dedication to public service, their efforts in
making a difference in their communities and their potential to expand their
impact as national leaders for emergency preparedness. Students in grades eight
through 11 are eligible to apply.
During their
one-year term, council members will collaborate virtually with each other to
develop projects that promote preparedness on a local and national scale.
Members will also attend the council summit in July and engage with top leaders
within FEMA, the federal government, and national non-profit organizations.
Youths
interested in applying to the council must submit a completed application form
and provide two letters of recommendation. All applications and supporting
materials must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. PT, March 6, 2023. New
council members will be announced in June.
To access the application materials, read about the current council members, and for more information about the Youth Preparedness Council visit https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/individuals-communities/youth-preparedness-council
