All training sessions will be held in person. We will take the safety precautions for COVID-19; maintain 6 feet of distance between each attendee, staff, and training presenters, wear masks during each session and disinfect surfaces touched.

Description
Our pre-service training will equip you with the solid knowledge to powerfully and compassionately advocate for a child that has experienced abuse or neglect. In addition to understanding the child protection system and the CASA volunteer role, you will also learn about trauma and resilience, efforts at improving our systems, cultural competence, and much more. Before registering for the New CASA Pre-Service Training, complete a CASA Application, complete a thorough interview, pass background and screening, and submit the pre-work materials. If you have questions about the CASA Program or becoming a CASA volunteer, please email Hannah Wiltshire, CASA Program Director, at hwiltshire@cfadvocates.org.
