CASA Volunteer

Right now, there is a child in your community who needs your help! There are more than 30 children on the waitlist for a Court Appointed Special Advocate. Children with a CASA volunteer are more likely to find safe, permanent homes, more likely to succeed in school, and half as likely to re-enter the foster care system once their case has been closed.  

 You can be the difference - become a CASA Volunteer. In order to volunteer, you will need to: 

  • Be at least 21 years old  
  • Complete a background check and fingerprint scan 
  • Attend a CASA Open House at Harmony House or a virtual CASA 101 informational session 
  • Submit a completed volunteer application form
  • Interview with a CASA Case Supervisor 
  • Complete 30-40 hours of in-person and virtual trainings in courtroom procedures, social services, the juvenile justice system, and the special needs of abused and neglected children
