Volunteers are assigned to their first case after completing 30 hours of training over a 6 week time-span. The training you will receive with Warrick County CASA includes the National CASA/GAL training manual, court observation, and shadowing a seasoned advocate.
Volunteering
Advocates average 5-10 hours of time each month working their cases. This time includes visiting with the child(ren), attending Child and Family Team Meetings (CFTM), communication with school, daycare, DCS, and placement and/or the parents. Advocates can expect to attend court hearings every 3-6 months.
Making A Difference
Statistics show Children who are served by a CASA advocate are more likely to succeed in school, more likely to find a safe, permanent home and are half as likely to re-enter the foster care system. Make a difference today by volunteering your time at Warrick County CASA.
