Accreditation Manual
This is the newest version of the Accreditation Manual used for training resource facilitators. It is divided into five sections, each of which can be downloaded as a PDF document.
New chapter staff and volunteers who are doing resource facilitation should read the manual and can get started on the Community Resources section. This is the “fill in” section for your own community services and contacts. The various categories of services can be recorded in this manual or in any other format that works for you, in order to complete Accreditation.
Chapter staff and volunteers who have previously taken Accreditation training will want to read the Important Information section, as there may have been changes since your training.
