Lunch and Learn Webinar: Ready Youth Toolkit in a Box Wednesday, March 2, 2022, from 12:30pm- 1:00pm ET  Please join the Individual and Community Preparedness Team in Region 2 for a webinar on how to start a Youth Preparedness Council (YPC) or club in your school or community using the Ready Youth Toolkit in a Box. This toolkit developed by the staff who manage one of the largest regional YPCs, offers guidance on how to start your own YPC, suggested emergency preparedness training and best practices, as well as many templates that can be easily duplicated. Starting a YPC gives members a variety of benefits, including skill building and networking. It can also be a pipeline to the National FEMA YPC, where teens can apply for and team up with a select group of like-minded youths from across the country. Who should attend? Educators, school administrators, after-school programs, youth-serving organizations, parents, young adults and other members of the whole community.
