Recruiting Volunteers

National CASA standards require that member programs follow approved written policies for volunteer recruitment, including being inclusive and having a written plan for recruiting and selecting volunteers who reflect the children served. CASA/GAL programs should have a standardized packet of written information to recruit volunteers, and engage in recruitment efforts involving community collaboration, media outreach and speaking engagements.

For additional information about National CASA standards for recruiting volunteers, see section 7.A. Recruitment in the National CASA Standards for Local CASA/GAL Programs.
