Become a CERT Volunteer

Antelope Valley CERT offers free FEMA compliant Basic CERT Training courses throughout the year.  Students receive basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.  Upon course completion, a certificate is issued to students and they are invited to join our cadre of CERT volunteers.  AV CERT members can participate in monthly and annual trainings.  AV  CERT Leadership roles are available.  CERT is an equal opportunity organization.
