Piedmont CASA New Volunteer Training Class
Be the difference in a child’s life.
Give us 6 weeks of your time and we will give you the training you need to become a
volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate for local children in foster care.
CASA volunteers visit their assigned children at least once a month, attend court hearings, and gather information so they can tell the judge what is in the best interest of the child.
Time Commitment: All training is free and consists of 30 hours of classroom training and 10 hours of courtroom observation. After training a CASA can expect to devote 5-10 hours per month to their case.
