Orientation to AmeriCorps Project. Sponsoring Organization will orientate Members to AmeriCorps; WSC; service site; the community served; and the service provided. WSC One-Day Regional Training Sessions will be held in various locations across Washington State for all Washington Service Corps Members. There will be additional required training to assist individual placement Members with meeting the WSC core competency trainings. The Regional Trainings will focus on AmeriCorps affiliation and how to successfully complete a full term of service. In addition to receiving some of the required core competency training, the sessions will help Members be more effective in their service assignments. The Sponsoring Organization will be responsible to pay the Member costs of traveling to and from their WSC-sponsored training session (e.g. gas/mileage). Attendance and participation by the Member is mandatory. WRC Training Institute (Washington Reading Corps Members only): WRC will host a multi-day training event called WRC Training Institute during the fall (dates and location will be communicated by WRC). Members will receive many of the core trainings required by WRC which will help Members be more effective in their service assignment. This WRC Training Institute will require overnight lodging, paid for by the WRC. The Sponsoring Organization will pay all costs to travel to and from training, including reimbursement to the Member for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Members must work with project site staff prior to leaving for this event to define any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (i.e. fuel, overnight lodging in travel if applicable). Attendance and participation of the WRC Member is mandatory.
