Training

Training is a vital part of being a Civilian Response Corps (CRC) member. In order to provide Reconstruction and Stabilization efforts both in and out of the field, CRC members must have the proper training. Please see the currently list of available trainings below. Course descriptions and registration processes are listed as well.

Note: All CRC-A and CRC-S member training is funded by DCHA/OCR. This includes travel and per diem costs for those CRC members who are coming in from the field. No costs will be incurred by your home office of mission.
