Homeland security needs call for a cadre of trained volunteers. Recruitment and training can be easy with the collaboration and support of community and faith-based organizations, and by offering a wide range of activities. Colleen Halliburton, Director of the Golden Triangle RSVP in southeast Texas contributed these ideas to the NSSCTalk e-mail discussion list in August 2003. Utilizing these strategies, her program recruited over 100 volunteers in a year's time.
