Volunteer Reception Center Trainings Offered

Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) Training

Disasters happen every day all over the world. During times of disaster, caring citizens want to volunteer to help their neighbors and their community. A Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) acts as a staging area to process and disseminate both spontaneous volunteers and pre-registered Citizen Corps volunteers to affected disaster areas. HandsOn Central Ohio is providing training opportunities to establish a cadre of trained, registered and assigned volunteers who are capable of setting up, managing, staffing and operating a VRC that will mobilize and deploy volunteers during a disaster.
