CASA Volunteer Training Begins
CASA of Carson City will begin a training of CASA volunteers on May 10, 6-9pm, at the Carson City Juvenile Court, 1545 E. 5th St. in Carson City.
CASA volunteers are appointed by Carson City's Juvenile Court as guardian ad litem for children in child welfare court cases.
The CASA volunteer speaks up for the best interests of the child.
Being a CASA volunteer requires patience, caring, research, writing, good communication skills and a commitment.
There is a background check, an interview and 30 total hours of training.
Anyone who thinks they might be interested is encouraged to take the first two classes, one per week, of the ten class session to learn more and then decide whether they are a good fit. For more information see www.casaofcc.org, www.nevadacasa.org, and www.nationalcasa.org .
