The Process of Becoming a CASA Volunteer

​

For additional information attend an Info Session. Our Info Sessions are short meetings--typically about thirty minutes--just enough time to share an overview of CASA and answer any questions.  We offer them several times a year. Reserve your spot before the class is full!

• May 2nd   9am​​​

Step One~ Submit an Application

Typically, the application is submitted after the Info Session, but it can be submitted before then too. Click here for the application. Completing the application in one sitting is best so the system doesn’t time out. And if you don’t have all the contact information for your references, you can use your personal information to get through the application and then provide our office with the updated information at the Interview.

Step Two ~  Schedule an Interview

The interview is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions you might have about CASA. At this meeting, we will also provide you with the forms to complete so that we can run background checks. (Child Abuse Registry, Sex Offender Registry, and Criminal Background Check).  Email us at info@casamc.org to schedule an interview. 

Step Three~ Attend Training

Our pre-service training is 30 hours. Fifteen hours are done in a classroom setting. These are three-hour sessions that are typically held over the course of five weeks. The other fifteen hours are completed online and incorporated with classroom training. Classroom training also includes a field trip to the Justice Center, and you’ll hear from a panel of attorneys and judges about the process. We also offer condensed training and independent study training. Contact our office for more information at 242.4191 or info@casamc.org.​​​​​​​​​​​
