What kind of time commitment and length of service is required to be a CASA Volunteer?

There is a great deal of variance in the length of time in which a child’s case may be in the Court system and a CASA Volunteer may serve.  Many children are involved in the child welfare system for several years and many CASA volunteers serve for several years.  Volunteers are asked to make a minimum commitment to advocate on behalf of a child of one-year.  Volunteers spend an average of 10-12 hours a month in their work as a CASA.
