New Volunteer Training
Every Child Deserves a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate)!
We have Hunt County children that right now need a CASA Volunteer. Will you be a child’s independent voice through his or her journey through the foster care system?
Volunteers come from all walks of life. Volunteers must be age 21, pass background checks, and complete the 30+ hour training course. There are four to five Pre-Service Volunteer Training Courses held throughout the year.
The training course is made up of in-person classes and online homework that is completed within a three- or four-week time frame. Usually, the in-person classes will be held twice a week, with online homework prior to each in-person class. Plus, those in training will observe Child Protection Court in action.
The Pre-Service Volunteer Training Course provides basic knowledge of the casework and working with children who have been abused or neglected.
