CAST PROGRAM ACCEPTING NEW VOLUNTEERS If you have ever thought about serving your community
as a volunteer, consider joining the City of Chula Vista CAST program. Chula
Vista’s CAST - Citizen’s Adversity Support Team – consists of volunteers
trained to provide families of trauma victims with compassionate, supportive
assistance.
Volunteers,
on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year, are trained by professionals
including police officers, firefighters, psychologists, and emergency room
staff. First responders summon CAST to a variety of emergency calls – serious
motor vehicle accidents, murders, domestic violence, shootings and fires. Since
1993, CAST members have responded to thousands of calls in the communities of
Chula Vista, Bonita, and Imperial Beach.
The next
training session begins in January and runs through mid-April 2014. For more
information, or to request an application, please contact Dr. Emerald Randolph
at (619) 691-5213 or erandolph@chulavistaca.gov.
