FEMA Hosts Youth Preparedness Council Application Webinar

 

On Tuesday, February 28 at 8 p.m. Eastern, FEMA will host a webinar for potential applicants to the Youth Preparedness Council.

Webinar Save-the-Date

FEMA seeks to recruit young leaders with a passion for preparedness to join the Youth Preparedness Council (YPC). The YPC offers opportunity for teens to share their ideas and feedback with FEMA, grow their leadership skills, and work with like-minded peers to help strengthen preparedness and resilience across the country. Members will also participate in a summit in Washington, D.C. with FEMA leaders and other professionals to network and learn more about the field of emergency management.

During the webinar on February 28, participants will learn more about the YPC application process and hear from three current YPC members about their experiences on the council. The webinar will also provide an opportunity for participants to ask any questions they may have.

For More Information

Students in grades eight through 11 are eligible and can apply online here.

Students have until March 6, 2023, to complete applications. Interested in attending? You can register for the webinar here.
