CASA Volunteers are invited to this important on-line in-service training that impacts our work with children, youth and their families. Many of us are working with children and youth from cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds different from our own. It is important that we understand how bias shows up in the child welfare system, how our values impact how we advocate and when we need to check our beliefs at the courthouse door. This training will help every volunteer to become a more effective advocate for their child or youth.

Register here to attend.
