When disaster strikes, communities recover best when neighbors help neighbors. We are seeking dedicated volunteers to help lead community disaster response and recovery efforts in our area.
Volunteer leaders play a critical role in coordinating volunteers, supporting disaster-affected residents, organizing recovery projects, and helping ensure that assistance reaches those who need it most. Whether responding to wildfires, floods, severe weather, or other emergencies, these leadership volunteers help bring people together to make a difference.
We are looking for individuals who:
- Care deeply about their community
- Are organized and dependable
- Work well with diverse groups of people
- Can remain calm during challenging situations
- Want to help strengthen local disaster preparedness and recovery efforts
Leadership opportunities may include:
- Volunteer coordination
- Disaster recovery planning
- Community outreach and communications
- Resource management
- Damage assessment support
- Long-Term Recovery Group participation
- Disaster preparedness education
Training and support will be provided. Previous disaster experience is helpful but not required.
By volunteering as a disaster response leader, you can help ensure our community is prepared, resilient, and ready to support our neighbors when they need us most.
If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact us. Together, we can build a stronger and more resilient community.
You would work directly with the United Way staff and other COAD members in this role. We are seeking volunteers across Lewis and Clark, Jefferson and Broadwater Counties.
