Amber- just contact your county's CASA office and ask to get signed up! My county had an orientation (paperwork and questions) and then a 3 day training. You should be able to find your local office on the main homepage (or on google).

Bernard Barton

Bernard Barton I am a CASA Volunteer in Overton County, Tennessee. I was a CASA Volunteer back in 2001 in Cookeville, Tn. but time became a problem so I had to quit CASA at that time. When CASA came to overton County in 2008, I hopped on the wagon again. I have a troubling case because of the individual I am working with. I need your... prayers, concern and any constructive advice that you can lend. Thank you....Bernard Barton

Hello Bernard. Thank you for continuing to do such important work. I think your best bet is to talk with your volunteer supervisor at your local program. Of course we are thinking of you and all our volunteers. --Rebecca@ National CASA

Tonya I am a CASA volunteer in Southern CA. My CASA Youth is a perfect match I could not have asked for a better match. This is so far has been one of the MOST rewarding things that I have ever experienced.--- Beautiful Roses have thorns, But never knowing when they may poke. This is what life is all about. If the thorn poke......s. And a beautiful rose come out of it. Then it is all worth it.—TST

Rene Winsor

Rene Winsor Thanks to all the CASA volunteers who helped make Angel Tree so special for my kids this year. I have one on the way to adoption, all things look like a go, and another going to a RTC which will be able to serve the child much better than here. Thanks to my Supervisor, Cindy Craft, and the The CASA Foundation, for making these kids moves possible.
