Volunteer opportunities in your neighborhood
After a disaster, essential government services may be overwhelmed. Citizen Corps is a grassroots effort that trains volunteers to help make communities safer, stronger and better prepared.
Citizen Corps opportunities include participation in Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Citizens on Patrol, Volunteer Fire-Police, Volunteers in Police Service and a host of other opportunities.
Please commit to serving your neighbor, your community and your country. Become a volunteer.
