AmeriCorps: Training Officer's Handbook

A Resource Guide for State Commission and National Direct Parent Organization Training

This brief handbook is intended as a resource for AmeriCorps* State and National training officers as you carry out the various tasks and responsibilities you will encounter as you develop, manage, implement, and continuously evaluate your organization’s comprehensive training plan.

You can use the handbook as a blueprint that will guide you in assessing and analyzing the training and technical assistance needs of the directors or supervisors, members, and volunteers of your programs. We recommend that you consider using a logic model to develop your plan in order to facilitate tracking and reporting on your progress.

At the end of each chapter, you will find sections on Resources and Samples. Resources provides information on books, articles, and websites both within and outside of the national service field that you can use to further your understanding of the topic. Samples is a section of examples that can serve as templates or as benchmarks to help you with designing, editing, or updating your own draft documents.
