Charity Productions believes in a community/school-based approach. This approach was piloted in 2016 at Tekoa Academy, Port Arthur, and the Houston ISD in 2018 and 2019. Our concept integrates FEMA’s Emergency Management Institutes Independent Study online courses, focusing on mitigation, public health and safety, disaster preparedness, and climate management. These courses are supporting components of the National Incident Management System Framework. But we don’t stop there. We also offer learning expeditions and various field exercises. The coursework provides CEU and, in some cases, dual college credits.
Charity Productions has open enrollment for students from all school districts. Students must have access to FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute to register for a FEMA student ID. We have limited space, so don’t delay. We have recruited students in the Golden Triangle region in grades 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th.
Texas A&M University’s Hazardous Reduction and Recovery Center features Camp DASH in conjunction with Charity Productions. Students will be exposed to three focus areas throughout the week. The three areas are. 1. Urban Planning 2. Public Health 3. Disaster Planning Charity Productions provides an extended core curriculum students will experience during the first and second semesters. These areas are essential to protecting our planet and its people. Camp dates for 2025 will be announced in February 2025.
