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!
