National CASA Association and Alaska
CASA standards require each CASA volunteer to complete 12 hours of
continuing education annually. In-service training may be
obtained by attending CASA-sponsored training opportunities and/or other relevant
training offered in the community. Volunteers should submit
documentation for community-based training
attended, books read, videos/DVDs viewed, and online courses
completed
for credit toward their continuing education requirement.
Click here to download specific
instructions and forms. If you have questions about what will count
for continuing education credit contact your local CASA program coordinator.
CASA volunteers
needing financial assistance to attend a relevant training
opportunity should download a
Friends
of Alaska CASA Scholarship Application.
National CASA
offers several options for continuing education. Ask
your local CASA program coordinator about getting credit for
listening to a relevant
podcast or
completing one of the e-learning series. Currently there are
e-learning series on Education and Youth in Out-of-Home Care
and on Supporting Youth Transitions Into Adulthood.
