Who is in charge of the Citizen Corps?
A community partnership—the Citizen Corps Council—will be responsible for implementing and running the program. The role of the Citizen Corps Council is: 1) managing the Citizen Corps program; 2) setting annual goals and objectives for volunteer recruitment and training; and 3) setting an annual budget for training, equipment, community promotion and outreach. The Citizen Corps Council will begin its work in January 2009. A monthly meeting schedule has not yet been established.
