NEW: Join The Volunteer University Team for Office Hours

Key members of the Volunteer University team are now hosting virtual Office Hours where members can ask questions, check on their status in the Education and Training Program, and offer ideas to the Volunteer University team.

These sessions are added to the Education and Training Calendar as they are offered by the Provost, Deans, Chairs and Coordinators and can be found labeled "Office Hours".  

Become a Volunteer University Instructor

A crucial aspect of this new program is building our instructor corps to teach the new modules in our onsite or virtual-in-residence classes and our online cohorts. If you are interested in joining the team and helping to take CAP education and training into the future, please complete the application below.

Step 1:

Step 2: 

Once your application is approved by region and wing command, you will be enrolled in the VOLU Instructor Course in AXIS.  For more information or assistance, contact us at instructor@cap.gov

Step 3: 

After completing the online portion of the Instructor Course, you must participate in a virtual training session to be fully qualified as a Volunteer University assistant instructor or instructor.  Sign up for this step using the  Education and Training Calendar using events labeled "Instructor Course Virtual Session".
