The first step to volunteering with CASA is to attend an Informational Session, which provides an opportunity to meet with a staff member, learn more about what it means to become a CASA, and ask questions about volunteering. Info Sessions usually take 45 minutes to an hour. You can schedule an Info Session below in Hancock, Harrison, & Stone Counties.
