Department of State Training Update

The Department of State’s Local Coordinator Training (DoS) is moving to a new platform! The online training, which has been hosted on the Gyrus website since June 2016, will now be hosted on the TOPYX website.

The DoS training is required by law for anyone who is directly involved with the orientation and support of high school exchange students or the screening selection and orientation of host families. TOPYX currently houses many volunteer trainings, including the Hosting and Support Affiliations (HSA) Training, Host Family Orientation, Liaison training, and New Volunteer Orientation. We are confident that the familiar interface will make this change a welcomed one and increase the ease of navigation.
