What is the time commitment for being a CASA volunteer?
We ask for a year commitment. Once a volunteer is assigned to a case, he/she must meet with the child for at least an hour each week. Some time is also spent making phone calls to people who are involved in the child’s life. More time is spent by CASA volunteers when court is approaching, which is usually every six months, sometimes more frequently. This is because a court report must be written (usually 1-4 pages in length) and the court hearings must be attended. On a typical week, the CASA volunteer spends time with the child and makes a few phone calls.
