Dear Prospective CASA Volunteer:

Thank you for considering volunteering your time with Cobb County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). I am delighted that you are interested in improving the lives of abused and neglected children. Please read the enclosed information, which explains this volunteer opportunity in greater detail.

The first step in becoming a CASA volunteer is to complete and return the volunteer application and consent form. Be sure to answer the four essay questions included in the application. When your completed application is received at the Cobb CASA office, it will be reviewed and you will be invited in for a screening interview. Upon conclusion of a successful interview, you will be given information on the criminal background check procedure. After your criminal background check is completed, you will be ready to participate in the next available training class providing there is no history of criminal activity, which may disqualify your admittance.

Most people find that they gain as much as they give from their volunteer experiences. Again, I thank you for your interest and hope you choose to make a difference in your own life, while making a difference in children’s lives as a CASA volunteer!

Please return your application and consent to the address below. If you need additional assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Carlene Redmond
