CASA of the Tenth supports continuing education requirements (minimum 12 hours per year) with monthly CASA Time events (see CASA Calendar). Each session covers an engaging, relevant topic—from Court Report Writing to Mental Health Advocacy—and provides volunteer Advocates another opportunity to learn and connect with CASA staff and other volunteers.
Additionally, Illinois CASA offers in-service webinars, podcasts and on-site training opportunities to support each CASA’s continuing ed requirements.
