VOLUNTEER    ORIENTATION     TRAINING

All CASA volunteer orientations are being offered virtually.

CASA volunteer orientations are offered four times per month, with the exception of November and December. The session will open 30 minutes prior to the start time to allow for issues and/or troubleshooting.  The meeting will last approximately one hour.  Once applicants complete the Contact Information Form or the CASA volunteer application,  the applicant will be provided with instructions on how to register for orientation.

The CASA Program is excited to offer the National CASA Association’s 2020 Flex Training Curriculum.  The five-week CASA trainings are offered multiple times a year at the Clark County Government Center. Participation is in-person and individuals must be registered to attend. Listed below are the start dates for upcoming trainings:

National CASA’s Flex Learning Curriculum is a blended approach to training that combines in-person and online delivery of information over a 5-week period. The in-person portion of training occurs in five modules. Each module contains approximately 3 hours of self-guided work that participants complete online and a 3-hour in-person class where participants attend as a group. Your first online assignment will be sent to you prior to the first in-person class. The online sessions introduce the participants to the key elements for CASA volunteer’s work, allow interaction with others, explore new ideas, and obtain tools for effective child advocacy. The in-person sessions use case studies to introduce participants to a variety of dynamics including poverty, mental health issues, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc. By using this method, volunteers not only obtain experience with different types of cases but also in how to complete a thorough investigation. The facilitator is also able to ascertain volunteer readiness and competency over this 5-week period.
