Working with Volunteers

Recruiting, training, supporting and retaining CASA volunteers is at the heart of CASA programs' work. By providing printed and online materials and in-person support, the National CASA Association aims to strengthen state and local programs' ability to build a network that provides high-quality volunteer advocacy to every child in need of a CASA volunteer.

 
In this section, you will find resources on the following topics:

Recruiting Volunteers: Recruitment campaigns and messages, web-based recruitment resources, ideas for using non-advocate volunteers and other topics

Screening Volunteers: ChoicePoint volunteer and staff screening toolkit, volunteer interviewing and other topics

Training Volunteers: National CASA Volunteer Training Curriculum, continuing education resources, Moving Forward for Children modules and other resources

Retaining Volunteers: Supervising, firing and recognizing volunteers

Everyone Ready

In addition to providing the resources listed above, National CASA has contracted with Everyone Ready, an online volunteer management and retention tool developed by volunteerism expert Susan Ellis and the staff of Energize, Inc. National CASA is able to provide access to these tools through a grant from The Hearst Foundations.
