Children's Disaster Services (CDS) will offer a workshop to train volunteers on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14. The workshop will be held at Lititz Church of the Brethren, 300 W. Orange St., Lititz.
CDS has been meeting the needs of children since 1980, working cooperatively with FEMA and the American Red Cross to provide care for children and families following disasters. The workshop is open to anyone from the community who is over age 18 and has an interest in serving children following disasters.
There is a cost to attend, with a discount until Friday, April 22. Visit http://www.childrensdisasterservices.org to register or for more information. Details are also available by calling Jeannine Strom Boyer, local coordinator, at 717-626-2131 or contacting the CDS office at cds@brethren.org or 800-451-4407, ext. 5.
Once the training is completed, participants may become certified CDS volunteers by providing two personal references and completing background checks.
