Step 1: Application
Fill out our application. You can download it here.
Step 2: Interview
We will set up an interview with you (in person or virtual). This will allow us to get to know you better and answer any questions you may have.
Step 3: Local Background Check
All prospective CASA volunteers are required to complete a local background check. Background checks must be completed before the mandatory training sessions.
Step 4: Training
CASA Volunteer training consists of two options: Eight-week in-person training or five-week virtual training. These training sessions, mandated by the National CASA/GAL Association for Children, help our new volunteers prepare for serving as a CASA.
Step 5: Extensive Background Check
For the safety of the children and all CASA employees and volunteers, more extensive background checks will be performed after volunteer training.
Step 6: Make It Official
After the completion of training and background checks, you are ready to be an official Madison County CASA volunteer! Prior to serving, all volunteers are sworn in as Court Appointed Special Advocates by Juvenile Court Judge, Christy R. Little.
