Volunteer
Volunteering with CASA can change a child’s life
CASA volunteers speak up for abused and neglected children who are involved in the Carroll and White County court systems. We recruit, train, and support them.
Training
Initial training to be certified is thirty hours. It includes classroom sessions, independent study, and courtroom observation. Classes are scheduled to suit the most people who want to take the class at one time, and the application asks which days and times you can attend.
Commitment
After your initial training, you are expected to serve at least one case for a minimum of two years, or for as long as the child or children you are assigned are under the court’s jurisdiction.
Background checks
Volunteers authorize Carroll-White CASA to secure a local, state, and national criminal records check, a child protective services check, and a sex offender registry check.
References
The application asks for personal references: people you have known for at least two years who can speak to how you relate to children and the public. Relatives are not accepted.
