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 allows 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 biennial 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 Feb. 27, participants will learn more about the YPC application process. They will also 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. Interested in attending? Register for the webinar.
