This includes preparing for and attending case-related hearings and meetings and guiding the volunteer to pertinent resources specific to each case. When a supervisor is not available for a meeting or hearing, another CASA staff member will attend to support the volunteer.

FAQ: How does CASA support volunteers? 🔍

Volunteers are paired with a staff professional supervisor (Child Advocacy Specialist, Early Family Engagement Specialist, or Family Finding Specialist) who supports and guides them every step of the way.
