Volunteer
Training Information
CASA volunteers are ordinary citizens. No special or
legal background is required. Volunteers are screened closely
for objectivity, competence and commitment. CASA volunteers undergo a thorough 30-hour training course
conducted by the local CASA program. Volunteers learn about courtroom procedure from the
principals in the system – from judges, lawyers, social
workers, court personnel, and others. CASA volunteers also learn
effective advocacy techniques for children, and are educated
about specific topics ranging from seminars on child sexual
abuse to discussions on early childhood development and
adolescent behavior.
