Our vision is that every global citizen be educated, equipped, and connected as a ready responder, who is able to help themselves and others when the worst happens in their community.
The WCC mission focuses on respect for local leadership and the capabilities of local volunteers. WCC works within high-risk, underserved communities, working side by side with community leaders to deliver lifesaving training. When disaster strikes, we are there as a trusted partner supporting efforts behind the scenes -– alongside our local leaders, not in front of them. The result is a community prepared to prevent and respond to crises before outside resources arrive and that is resilient and ready to rebuild long after they have left.
WCC’s programs are built upon three pillars: education, coordination, and provision of resources. When combined, our participants can learn and practice disaster-relief skills and acquire the resources needed to help their communities. Making the right connections with first responders and traditional response groups is an important component to our Whole of Community approach.
