More about our Independent Study Intensive

Once you’ve successfully completed either track, you will be sent our orientation paperwork and background check information. Payment for background checks is the responsibility of the responder.

All deployments under our partners, Children’s Disaster Services (CDS) and Camp Noah, must follow their  training and vetting processes.

**Many of you have already taken the Children’s Disaster Services training and are actively certified disaster volunteers with CDS.  The CDS training is necessary for all CDS deployments.  We strongly encourage the CDS training and participation with our partners CDS and Camp Noah.

If you have already completed the Children’s Disaster Services 24hr training, please email us to discuss an expedited process to also becoming a CLDR  Disaster Responder!
