The May Rotarian magazine features the “final exam” of ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) training. The article reveals the high standards and tough conditions that SRTs must endure to qualify for the team. Fortunately, it is easier to join the ShelterBox team here in D5950. If you like the ShelterBox story and mission, we have options.
 
Be a speaker:  Rotarians have been incredibly supportive of ShelterBox. But how and what we deliver has changed. (Did you know that less than 7% of the families we helped in 2017 received a ShelterBox?). We want every club to know what’s new.
 
Work with young people:  Fundraising with youth has been crazy successful! ShelterBox has developed a series of fun, engaging activities for Interactors, student groups and others that explore ShelterBox, while teaching valuable skills. Can you hear the laughter?
 
Engage young professionals:  One of Rotary’s strategic focus areas is to offer training to early career professionals. On May 23 we will present “High Stakes Leadership,” a workshop that ties the skills needed by SRTs to navigating professional life. Learn more as you help us facilitate!
