The National Preparedness and Response Corps (NPRC) is a national direct program sponsored by the American National Red Cross and funded by an AmeriCorps grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The mission of the NPRC is to provide vital emergency assistance to communities affected by disaster and increase preparedness in the areas of greatest need before disasters strike by recruiting, training and supporting young adults who will provide integrated community outreach and education through Red Cross service activities focusing on homeland security.
The American Red Cross California Central Coast has 8 AmeriCorps NPRC members working throughout the Santa Barbara County region including offices in San Luis Obispo and Camarillo. Five of these members are working in Emergency Services while the other three are working in the Office of Volunteers and Youth throughout a 10.5 month period.
Here are the 2010-2011 American Red Cross AmeriCorps NPRC members!
Is there anything better in the world than AMERICAN RED CROSS volunteers?
