The Volunteer Role
What does a CASA volunteer do?
Experience the satisfaction of helping children in need. CASA volunteers are ordinary people who do extraordinary things for our community’s most vulnerable children. By dedicating 2-4 hours per week, every CASA volunteer makes a difference in the life of a child. CASA volunteers offer a consistent and caring adult presence in the lives of the children they serve.
CASA volunteers build a relationship with a child so they can advocate in court for the child’s best interest. From helping siblings find permanent homes together, to helping a child access needed services, to uncovering information that helps reunite a loving family, volunteer advocates make an incredible difference in the lives of children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
Requirements
Who can be a CASA volunteer?
CASA volunteers must be at least 21 years old and pass a background check. No special background or education is required to become a CASA volunteer. We encourage people from all cultures, professions, and educational backgrounds to apply!
Once you apply, we will reach out to schedule an in-person interview. After being accepted, we have a 35-hour pre-service training. This training covers all the necessary aspects of courtroom procedures, social services, the juvenile justice system, and how to work with children and youth who have experienced trauma.
Right now, there is a child in your community who needs your help! You can be the difference; become a CASA volunteer!
