2024 Summer New CASA Pre-Service Training

05/30/2024 08:00 AM - 05/31/2024 05:00 PM ET

Summary

All training sessions will be held in person. Volunteers must complete the entire training session. After the independent study materials have been turned in and the training is complete, volunteers will be sworn in by the Cuyahoga County Municipal Court - Juvenile Division magistrate or judge.

Remote training options will be considered closer to the actual training date.

Description

Our pre-service training will equip you with the solid knowledge to powerfully and compassionately advocate for a child who 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.
