CASA Volunteers are trained to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children. They investigate the case on behalf of the court, advocate for the child victim in the court and the social service system, and monitor the case until the child finds a safe, permanent home.
Our next CASA/GAL training class will begin Tuesday, January 9, 2024. The application deadline is Monday, December 11, 2023.
We encourage you to apply now by visiting our website www.CASAKids.net. The extensive background checks are time-consuming, and you will want time to complete your required court observations before the first day of training. You will begin your pre-training by observing the required court proceeding once you have been interviewed and accepted into the class.
