Thank you to the Puget Sound Energy Foundation for their generous grant of $7,500 for the purchase of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Kits. The Academy teaches the CERT training to all of the at-risk youth attending the Academy. Once the training is complete the cadets contact their local emergency management office to sign up to serve as a CERT volunteer. Those cadets who attain a volunteer confirmation letter are provided a CERT kit by the WYA Foundation and become a CERT team member in their community. Community service is a key component of the Washington Youth Academy experience. The WYA Foundation is grateful for the support of the PSE Foundation.
