HOW TO GET INVOLVED

​

We welcome people from all walks of life. We are simply looking for people who care about children and have common sense. As a volunteer, you will be thoroughly trained and well supported by professional staff to help you through each case.

Being a CASA volunteer does not require any special education or background, simply the desire to help abused and neglected children find safe, permanent homes.

​

What does it take to become a CASA volunteer?

 

Step 1: Each candidate must be at least 21 years old, pass a background check and participate in a 40-hour training course.

​

Step 2: After completing the training, the volunteer is assigned his first case. A volunteer’s average time commitment to a case is approximately 4-8 hours per month.

​

Step 3: Maintain monthly visit with your child(ren) and give written reports prior to court hearings.

​

Volunteer advocates have support and supervision every step of the way and always have resources available.
