We are excited you want to join our team of highly trained CASA volunteers. You will learn to become an independent voice for abused and neglected children during court proceedings.
We conduct intensive training which includes 27 hours of in-class training (1 evening a week for 9 weeks), 12 hours of court and panel review observation, background screenings, drug testing, and being officially sworn in by local judges.
A new CASA training class will begin every Fall and Spring. Classes will meet for 9 weeks from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Once assigned a case, the average time commitment is 5-10 hours per month, along with 12 hours of yearly in-service training.
