THE PLAN

The Volunteer Surge is a program designed to allow those who wish to be of service to the community in the COVID 19 crisis, to be able to do so with purpose and direction.  Rotary International Director Jeffry Cadorette was approached by the Global Impact Group since Jeffry serves in the region of Rotary which included New York, one of the most heavily impacted areas. Jeffry then took the information to the RI Board and the DG’s of the region for consensus and support… which he found to be unanimous.

The program is simple: we need more volunteers to help  in this fight against COVID-19 and you can consider being a part of that effort and who better to support their communities through such a volunteer effort than Rotarians.

 

The TRAINING 

First go to https://theglobalimpactgroup.org/. Sign up and be trained, online.. For free.

There are two options.
10 hours of training - which will allow you to help from your home under the guidance of local healthcare providers.

30 hours of training - which will glean a Certified Nursing Assistant certification.  With this certification, you can serve at hospitals and other onsite locations under the direction of medical professionals.

Did we mention that the training is online and FREE!  

 

OUR HOPE - to create 1 million volunteers through this program.
