CASA to hold Late Summer New Advocate Training

From Steve Jones, Advocate Development Specialist
CASA of South Central KY

CASA of South Central KY is excited to announce it will hold its next training session for new Advocates using a new format for training as part of its expansion into Allen, Edmonson, and Simpson counties.

CASA has also expanded its services into Allen, Edmonson, and Simpson counties in January of 2023, in addition to already serving Barren, Hart, Metcalfe, and Warren counties. That makes us one of the largest CASA programs in Kentucky. So, we greatly need new volunteers to serve in these three new counties (you can live in any county) in addition to the original four counties!

We have a new training format where of the total 30 hours of training mandated by National CASA, 15 hours can be done in self-guided study, and 15 hours are in the classroom setting. This allows greater flexibility for applicants as they can do half the hours online at home.


The classroom portion of the next New Advocate Training will take place from 4pmCT to approximately 7pmCT on August 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2023, in Bowling Green, final location TBD. Advocates will need to attend all five sessions, as well as do the self-guided learning between sessions.

Applications for this training must be received by July 24, 2023. More information and the application form may be found online at www.casaofsck.org/volunteer.

Feel free to contact me at the above information with any questions or for more information.
