New Advocate
Training
CASA for Children of Klamath County uses the approved 30-hour National CASA training. We also offer a Peer-Mentor program, where a knowledgeable CASA can help guide a new CASA through their first case.
TRAINING
Become a CASA Volunteer Advocate
Children in foster care need someone who will show up, listen, and speak up for their best interests. CASA volunteer advocates are everyday community members who are trained and supported as they walk alongside a child during one of the hardest chapters of their life. Our next advocate training is starting soon, and we would love to have you join us. Training will give you the tools, guidance, and confidence to become a voice for a child in foster care. Ready to make a difference? Review the training schedule and reach out to us with any questions. We would be happy to help you decide if CASA is the right fit for you.
Additional Volunteer Opportunities
STEWARDS OF CHILDREN BY DARKNESS TO LIGHT
Learn how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
Why is this important? Child sexual abuse is likely the most prevalent health problem children face with some of the worst possible consequences. In fact, 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. This means that whether you work with youth, are a parent, or are simply a member of the community, it is highly likely that someone you know or care for has experienced (or is currently experiencing) child sexual abuse. It's going to happen whether you are prepared to deal with it or not. But the good news is that it can be prevented. For more information on Darkness to Light and their mission, visit d2l.org.
