Community Emergency Response Team

Do you know what to do after a disaster? After a major disaster, the people we rely on for help may not be able to get to us. Widespread damage, blocked roads, loss of phone service, and too many victims will overwhelm our emergency responders. We will have to help each other meet our immediate life saving and life sustaining needs. CERT teaches you how to keep yourself and your family from becoming victims in a disaster. CERT focuses on being prepared, staying safe, and helping others until emergency responders can get there.

Union City CERT offers FREE CERT classes. Classes are set for the first four Saturdays in October.

For more information, please contact the CERT office at 510-675-5401 or email Carol@dutravernaci.com Dates Days Fee 10/1-10/22 Saturdays All are welcome FREE!!!

Support Our Kids Scholarship (S.O.K.) Program

The City of Union City feels that it is important for all of the youth in our community to have the opportunity to experience the various recreational programs that are offered by the Leisure Services Department. The S.O.K. Scholarship Fund offers a limited number of special scholarships for Union City youth 18 years and under who wish to experience a Leisure Services' program but are unable to, due to financial hardship. Scholarships provide 50-75 % of the registration fee, up to a maximum of $200. Scholarships are limited to one program per youth, per year as long as funds are available and families meet the financial qualifications. For more information and a scholarship application, please call the Holly Community Center at 675-5488 or the Kennedy Community Center at 675-5329.

We also would like to encourage the members of our community to help support the S.O.K. Scholarship program by making contributions with their Leisure Services' registrations. Donations can be added on the Leisure Services' registration form. Every dollar counts and is appreciated.

U.S. Chess Mates U.S. Chess Mates was founded ten years ago by one of the pioneers of after-school chess in the Bay Area, Steven Stacy.

In the last ten years the program has flourished and U.S. Chess Mates are currently teaching over 90 schools in Northern California, including at the Kennedy Center. They credit this to the extra care taken in maintaining a safe, wholesome, and dynamic teaching environment to keep our students engaged. We believe this not only adds quality to their learning experience, but adds prestige and value to the after school program as well.

U.S. Chess Mates is passionate about the game of chess, and firmly believe in its academic and social benefits. Chess promotes discipline, concentration, reasoning, critical thinking, and sportsmanship, and U.S. Chess Mates feel it is a valuable part of any diverse academic program.
