How We Serve DC

Serve DC is the District of Columbia Government agency dedicated to promoting service as an innovative, sustainable solution to meet community needs.

With grant funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Serve DC supports District communities by facilitating public, private and government partnerships, engaging residents in meaningful service opportunities, providing free trainings and resources, and helping community-based organizations strengthen their capacity to address the social challenges we face as a city and a nation.

On April 14, Serve DC, in partnership with DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (DC FEMS), hosted a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Spring Training Drill and Demonstration at Anacostia Park Skate Pavilion. The drill provided CERT trainees with a realistic practice setting and tested their emergency skills and knowledge. Check out all the photos from the CERT Spring Training Drill on Flickr!

Serve DC’s CERT program provides free training to people who live or work in the District to better prepare them to respond to emergencies and disasters. CERT volunteers provide critical support to first responders and immediate assistance to victims, and also help organize spontaneous volunteers. For more information on CERT training or to register for upcoming classes, visit Serve DC online.
