This class will walk you through simple steps to build successful ministries. Attendees will not only have a better understanding and knowledge of ministry at the end of this class, but they will also have created their action plan for beginning something new in their community. The only prerequisite for this class is a willingness to serve! At 1:30 PM, Sheltering and Donations Operations will be taught. This is a Red Cross certification that will discuss the opening and closing of a public shelter. The Donations Operations class is an overview of handling donations that come into a facility and what is done to house and distribute these goods to those affected by the disaster. This class will give the participant an understanding of the responsibilities of working within a shelter and how ACS members can prepare themselves for working within an ACS shelter.
