SPECIALTY TEAMS


LEARN. TEACH. COLLABORATE.
We’re doing lots of stuff and prudently preparing for times of need
________
National, regional and local teams
We’re not only building from the ground up across America to stand for faith, family and freedom. We’re also prudently preparing to help each other when our communities are hit with a crisis, particularly if the institutions we’ve come to rely on are in shambles or unable to help in any meaningful way.
To help accomplish this, we’ve formed 5 national teams that specialize in medical education and supplies for tough times, sustainability during a crisis that will help people develop the skills to survive and thrive wherever they are, communications that includes a ham radio network throughout the country, education that includes homeschooling resources, and prayer teams to help provide us with a dome of spiritual protection and support for all of our work.


SHARE YOUR UNIQUE SKILLS
Whether it’s already in your wheelhouse, or simply an area you want to improve in, please explore the team pages to learn more about the purpose of each. It’s another great way to get involved with CORAC where you can connect with like-minded people in the spirit of encouragement and support.
Take advantage of the helpful resources provided in the team libraries including news updates, educational articles, videos, downloadable pdf’s, and more. You’ll also find an event calendar for each team and you are most welcome to participate. And finally, check back often, since we will be adding significant resources and other updates on a regular basis.

About
Leadership is not a position at CORAC, it’s a mindset fueled by the heart. In these challenging times of rapid change and uncertainty, we thrive by empowering our members –– from all walks and stages of life –– to humbly take an active role in our mission. Now is the time to take responsibilty for the gifts God entrusted you with, use them for the benefit of others, and trust that God will multiply your effort to help reap an abundant harvest. In short, acknowledge God, take the next right step, and be a sign of hope to those around you.
