  Application    
       
  Take these necessary steps in becoming a CASA:
  1. Print the Application 
  2. Fill out the application and mail it to our office at PO Box 215, Seward, NE 68434
  3. After the application has been received, background and reference checks will be conducted.  If the outcome of your checks is negative, the program will send you a letter stating that you are not an appropriate candidate.  If the outcome of your checks is positive, the program director will call you to schedule a personal interview.
  4. The personal interview will last approximately one hour.
  5. After these four steps are completed, your in-depth training will begin.  Trainings are conducted in group sessions or independent     self-study sessions.  Call the office at 402.643.3695 for a schedule.
  Becoming a CASA is a serious volunteer responsibility, and there are several requirements that need to be met. Every CASA must;
  • Be at least 21 years of age.
