Mission Volunteer opportunities are diverse and range from working with refugees, children and youth to serving as a teacher, pastor, camp director or health care professional.

About the Course:
Early Response Teams (ERT) support conference preparedness and immediate response efforts in the aftermath of a disaster. Key activities for conference ERT and other response teams are supplying survivors with food, water, shelter and help with mucking out and cleaning up.
About ERT Certification and disaster relief Early Response Teams: Most Early Response Team members in the United States are required to be certified or to be supervised 1:1 by a certified team member. The Disaster Response Task Force highly recommends that all persons planning to work on an Early Response Team be certified prior to participation. Certification requires participation in an 8-hour class, a background check, and passing a written evaluation.
The class is open to participants from all districts, but this one will be held in the South District.
Attendance is required for the entire length of the class.
