[Community-Service] CASA?

[Jeanetta price]

While, I excitedly wait for the judge, I wanted to share a little more info about CASA.  

What is the role of a CASA?
Child is removed from home and placed in foster care. A CASA (Court Appointed Advocate®) volunteer is a dedicated member of the community who is appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interest of an abused or neglected child in the state's care.

How do I volunteer for CASA?

You must pass a background check, participate in a 30-hour pre-service training course and agree to stay with a case until it is closed (a year and a half on average).


Education Required For a Child Advocate
Most states require a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in a Behavioral Sciences field of study (e.g. Psychology, Social Work, Sociology etc.) to become a Child Advocate. Many states require a Master of Social Work degree.
