§2507 Training Program

Summary

The President must provide training for every person applying to be a volunteer and for each enrolled volunteer, including the training described in section 2507a. Rules that apply to volunteers and volunteer leaders also apply to applicants while they are in pre-enrollment training. As part of that training, and working with the Inspector General of the Peace Corps, the President must give volunteers information about the Inspector General’s role and how to contact 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 enrollment. The President may also arrange, on an advance-of-funds or reimbursement basis, training for other U.S. citizens chosen for similar overseas programs not under this chapter. Section 2508 applies the same way for such training in the United States, and any advances or reimbursements may be put into and used from the current appropriation, fund, or account. The President must keep records that verify each person completed the training required here and in sections 2507a, 2507b, 2507f, and 2507g(b).
