There will be some exciting things
happening this year for the South Central Red Cross Youth
Volunteers. The South Central Chapter is a great place to volunteer,
whether you are doing it to build up your extracurricular activities

Masters of Disaster is a K-8
curriculum that covers 11 topics which address specific types of
disasters, such as weather-related, geological or human-caused.
The curriculum focuses on what to do before, during and after a
disaster, occurring in different places like the community, at
school and at home. The American Red Cross created Masters
of Disaster to help you be ready to answer questions from
youth such as "Why did it happen?", "Will it happen again?" and
"Am I safe?"
|
|
| The curriculum
is available in 2 kits: A Family Kit or Educator's Kit. The Educator
Kit meets national educational standards, and both kits come with
stickers, certificates, a DVD and a CD with all the lessons plans. |
|
|
If you are interested in ordering these kits,
please contact Christine Dalton at (203) 787-6721 or
cdalton@arcsct.org for more information. |
