By joining the\u00a0Behind the Shield<\/strong> community, you are committing to the belief that no one should be alone in times of crisis \u2013 and you are ready to be there, without judgment, for someone in need.<\/p>\n

Ready to get involved?\u00a0Fill out the Emergency Disaster Services volunteer application<\/strong><\/a> and we will contact you with next steps.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Training” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]As an EDS volunteer, you will be supported through a robust training program that includes micro-learning and social learning, combined with online and in-person training.<\/p>\n

In addition to traditional instructor-led sessions, our curriculum will introduce diverse delivery formats such as webinars and tabletop exercises. Learners can choose from specialized learning streams that align with their personal interests and desired roles, allowing them to build knowledge and take on greater responsibilities within EDS.<\/p>\n

This multi-modal, learner-centric approach is designed to be not only educational but also engaging-providing a richer, more rewarding volunteer experience. Ultimately, this initiative aims to strengthen long-term volunteer commitment and readiness across our teams.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”305″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
