FEMA is now accepting
applications through March 8 for its 2020 Youth Preparedness Council
(YPC) from students in grades 8-11.
The YPC gives youth the chance
to meet peers from across the county to work together on exciting
projects. Members will also travel to Washington, D.C., for the annual YPC
Summit.
Since 2012, FEMA has brought
youth together, nationwide, who are passionate about preparedness and
community service.
As part of the YPC,
members can build leadership skills, represent their schools and communities,
and share perspectives, feedback, and opinions with FEMA.
