§2507 Training Program

Summary

The President must provide training for every person who applies to be a volunteer and for every enrolled volunteer. Applicants who are training before they enroll are treated the same as volunteers and volunteer leaders for the chapter’s rules. The training must include, and the President must coordinate with the Inspector General to give volunteers, information and contact details for the Inspector General and the Office of Victim Advocacy. Volunteers must get that information at least once during pre‑enrollment training and at least once during each significant training after they enroll. The President may also provide similar training, paid by advance or reimbursement, for other U.S. citizens chosen for like programs not run under this chapter. Section 2508 applies on the same advance or reimbursement basis, and any advances or reimbursements may be credited to the current appropriation, fund, or account and used for its authorized purposes. The President must keep records that verify each person completed the training required here and in sections 2507a, 2507b, 2507f, and 2507g(b).
