World Cares Center (WCC) alleviates suffering in marginalized populations while reducing the injuries, deaths, and harmful elements of emergency situations. WCC teaches youth, seniors, and citizens to act as effective ready responders, trains local and faith-based leaders to emerge as disaster managers, and works with emergency managers to formulate contingency plans and coordinate community-wide response efforts. Resulting from these initiatives are strong, resilient communities capable of providing care to each one of their constituents, as well as confident individuals who possess the tools to better their own lives and the lives of those around them.
