CASA to Hold Fall Volunteer Training Preservice

CASA of Allen and Putnam Counties is holding their annual Fall Preservice to train new CASA volunteers. Prospective volunteers will be equipped with the knowledge they need to advocate for abused and neglected children.

CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers advocate for children in the foster system. Volunteers walk alongside these children during their court cases, making recommendations in court for their best interests. Cases with a CASA generally have better outcomes than those that do not.
            The training is a hybrid in-person/online model. The online portion will open October 10th. In-person sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 5:00pm-8:00pm from October 14th to November 4th. New volunteers will be sworn into the court at 8:30am on November 20th. Sessions will be held at the CASA office at 234 N. Main Street in Lima.
            Anyone interested in being a CASA must submit an application and complete an interview. An informational session for prospective volunteers will be held at the Meeting Place in Lima on October 3rd from 8:00am to 10:00. Applications are available at crimevictimservices.org/casa. Please direct questions to casa@crimevictimservices.org or 567-940-2272.
