What CASA Volunteers Do

CASA volunteers play a vital role in a child's life, providing advocacy, stability, and support. Here’s a look at what that means:

CASA volunteers make a difference through meaningful advocacy and connection. Here’s what that looks like in action:

• Visiting their appointed child at least once a month
• Staying in contact with teachers, parents, foster families, and service providers
• Building trust through simple, meaningful activities:
  • Take them to the park.
  • Get an ice cream or visit the library.
  • Go for a walk, bike ride, or a meal.
  • Visit their home or enjoy a movie together.

Is This the Same as Being a Foster Parent?

No. CASA volunteering is a lower-commitment opportunity with a minimum requirement of a few hours per month. It’s ideal for people who want to help children without the full-time responsibility of fostering.

Who Can Volunteer?

To begin the process of becoming a CASA volunteer, you must meet these minimum requirements:

• Be at least 21 years old
• Pass a background check
• Have a valid ID, phone number, and permanent address

Additional training and steps are required before being sworn in as a CASA volunteer.
