We are planning to do 2 CERT Basic Trainings every month for the remainder of our fiscal year ending on June 30th.  Our goal is to get as many folks as possible trained up and empowered.  Our focus this year will be to make sure everyone on our waitlist has had the opportunity to take it as well as a focus on other languages and vulnerable populations throughout San Jose.  If you have any ideas on how to reach as many folks as possible, we would love to hear them!

 

Big News! 

The Santa Clara County CERT Leadership Team (of which we are a part of) has planned a county-wide CERT Skills Day to help everyone keep their CERT skills current.  Please save the date — Saturday, January 21, 2023 — and sign up for the event!
