CASA VOLUNTEER POSITION DESCRIPTION
The position of a CASA volunteer is to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children while supporting Tulsa CASAs mission that every child deserves a safe, permanent, and nurturing home. 

Some key responsibilities of a CASA volunteer are:
- Investigate the circumstances surrounding the case
- Make an independent evaluation of what is in the child's best interest, both immediately and in the long run
- Monitor the implementation of case plans and court orders
- Create a court report including observations, concerns, and recommendations 
- Attend all court hearings 

Each volunteer receives 24 hours of training. Topics covered in training include: the law, child protection system, courts, developing cultural competence, understanding families and children, communication as a CASA, gathering information, and reporting & monitoring. 

We ask that volunteers make a 1 year commitment to their case, and that they see the child(ren) once a week. CASAs are likely the only consistent and dependable person that the child knows. CASAs typically spend 10-15 hours per month working on their case. About 50% of CASAs are employed full-time. 

Qualifications: 
- Must be 21 years old
- No felony convictions 
- Volunteers are NOT required to have prior experience with the judicial process or child welfare 
- Complete 24 hours of training and 3 hours of court observation to be sworn-in by a judge 

We have a dedicated and experienced staff to ensure you have the tools needed to be successful. The Manager you are assigned to will answer any questions you have.
