This regional hybrid training is for anyone who wants to serve as a CASA volunteer in one of CASA of Lexington’s seven counties: Bourbon, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Lincoln, Scott or Woodford.
Participants will attend five 3-hour training sessions at the CASA of Lexington office, 3245 Loch Ness Dr. in Lexington, Ky. Each participant will also complete 15 hours of independent study, along with court observation and a final interview. This condensed summer training fits all training sessions, your court observation and your final interview into a single week. After completing all training requirements, participants will be sworn in by a family court judge and can be matched with children in the family court system who have suffered abuse or neglect.
In order to participate in this training class, you must submit a volunteer application, complete background check forms and attend an initial interview.
