Solano Volunteers, a Solano County program implemented by Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership (CVNL), coordinates volunteers during disasters, and coordinates resources to aid disaster relief and recovery efforts. Long-term recovery from disasters takes time, money, strong partnerships and dedicated volunteer effort, and CVNL stands ready to facilitate the provision of resources to those who need it most.
Solano Volunteers has a special role in the event of a local disaster, and we are looking for community members to raise their hands and volunteer to be a part of our Diaster Response team.
Disaster Response volunteers are trained before disaster strikes in order to better handle responsibilities placed upon them. All volunteers receive training to enable active involvement in an Emergency Volunteer Center and Disaster Call Center. Based on interest, volunteers may then take additional training for Supervisory and Leadership roles.
Duties May Include:
Registering, interviewing and matching spontaneous disaster volunteers to appropriate assignments
Providing information to residents
Providing safety briefings as needed
Recording hours, tracking volunteer data, tracking donations, and helping out with logistics as needed
Duties do not include strenuous physical activity
Qualifications:
Ability to work with people
Honest and reliable
Upon completion of the online training, disaster volunteers are asked for a one-year commitment where they stay ready to respond to a disaster in Solano County
Drills and exercises will be conducted annually so volunteers can stay sharp and ready-to-serve when called upon.

Mission Statement
We know that passion alone isn't enough when it comes to creating strong nonprofits.
