Standards announcements

Our accreditation standards are updated on an annual basis to align with current best practice and reflect trends in the human and social services landscape.

March 31, 2021: Our 2021 Private Standards have launched!  These updates will affect private organizations.  You can download a full description of the changes here.  A complete list of the standards impacted by these updates can be found here.

The 2021 Edition will not impact organizations that are currently pursuing accreditation or re-accreditation and have already been assigned standards in the MyCOA portal.  If you are an in-process organization and have questions about the updates, please contact Tobi Murch at: tmurch[at]coanet.org.

Accredited/in-process organizations and volunteers can access information about standards updates through their MyCOA or VIP account.
