The Reason, Is You!

The Midwest Preparedness Project Festival Team is a tight-knit group of leaders, volunteers, instructors, and families who believe preparedness is about people first. We’re builders, problem-solvers, and servant-leaders who show up early, stay late, and do the work because we believe it matters. Our culture is grounded in integrity, accountability, and mutual respect—no egos, no spectators, just a shared mission.

We value practical skills, clear communication, and a calm, solutions-oriented mindset when things get challenging. What makes our team special is that we don’t just plan events—we build community, foster trust, and create spaces where people feel welcomed, capable, and empowered. At the end of the day, we’re a family that believes preparedness is best lived out together.
