Description
Requirements to become a CASA volunteer:
* Must be at least 21 years of age.
* Must be able to pass the background checks with State Police, Child Abuse Registry and various others.
Training to become a CASA volunteer takes approximately thirty hours, which can be done as independent study or classroom, and 10 hours of court observation. Once you have become a CASA the time necessary to complete the duties on an individual case is usually ten hours per month. The role of a CASA is to be the "eyes and ears of the court" for a child.
