We Give Back!
Partnering with Project:Camp
California Women in Homeland Security and Project:Camp have embarked on a groundbreaking partnership to ensure a stronger and more resilient community in California.
Project: Camp is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that children have a safe place to go during a disaster. During disasters, Project:Camp creates pop up style trauma-informed day camps for children impacted by natural disasters. In these unique spaces facilitated by Project:Camp, children are provided with structure and a sense of normalcy while parents, schools and child care networks implement plans for what comes next. Project:Camp provides relief for families, and by extension greater resiliency for communities. Prior to disasters, Project:Camp organizes communities to create the planning, institutional relationships, and volunteers to ensure plans are actionable when disasters strike.
As members of CA-WHS, we want to have your input to help get this work into our communities. Here is how you can help:
1. Spread the word within our professional and emergency management community
2. Invite Project:Camp to local, regional, and statewide meetings and conferences.
3. Volunteer with the CA-WHS Philanthropy Committee to help Project:Camp connect with local stakeholders before and during a disaster.
