Advocate Training Classes

Our Pre-Service Volunteer Training (PSVT) consists of 10-15 hours of pre-work (self-study) training, 38 interactive classroom hours, and Courtroom Observation. Classroom hours are often scheduled on evenings and weekends to accommodate busy lifestyles! Many CASAs work full-time, so we try to make our schedule work with varying schedules!

Our next pre-service training will begin in 2026 – dates TBA. Our standard training schedule is typically as follows (hosted over a 2 week period):

  • Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm
  • Tuesday, 5:15pm-8:45pm
