CASA/ GAL Volunteer Training:

Before any prospective volunteer may be assigned a CASA case, he or she must attend 40 hours of training and pass a background check.  These training are held in the Franklin County Courthouse Complex.  They are designed by the National CASA organization to give participants basic education in a broad range of topics relevant to the CASA volunteer experience.  If you would like to attend a training to become a volunteer, please fill out our online application.

In-services:

In-services are a great way for volunteers to fulfill their yearly training requirements, and are hosted on a variety of relevant topics.  Topics and locations will be posted as dates near.  Also, volunteers should expect reminder emails.

Community Trainings:

Volunteers may also receive in-service credit for attending community trainings that are related to the work CASA does.  Those interested should contact the training organization directly to register.  To be awarded credit, volunteers must submit proof of attendance to CASA's Volunteer Director.  Volunteers are encouraged to contact CASA with information about trainings of interest.
