Some key responsibilities of a CASA volunteer are: - Investigate the circumstances surrounding the case - Make an independent evaluation of what is in the child's best interest, both immediately and in the long run - Monitor the implementation of case plans and court orders - Create a court report including observations, concerns, and recommendations - Attend all court hearings Each volunteer receives 24 hours of training. Topics covered in training include: the law, child protection system, courts, developing cultural competence, understanding families and children, communication as a CASA, gathering information, and reporting & monitoring. We ask that volunteers make a 1 year commitment to their case, and that they see the child(ren) once a week. CASAs are likely the only consistent and dependable person that the child knows. CASAs typically spend 10-15 hours per month working on their case. About 50% of CASAs are employed full-time. Qualifications: - Must be 21 years old - No felony convictions - Volunteers are NOT required to have prior experience with the judicial process or child welfare - Complete 24 hours of training and 3 hours of court observation to be sworn-in by a judge We have a dedicated and experienced staff to ensure you have the tools needed to be successful. The Manager you are assigned to will answer any questions you have.

This month’s volunteer spotlight shines on Kim Lauer! Kim was sworn in as a CASA volunteer four years ago. In that time, she has served on 4 cases, advocating for 11 children total. She is currently serving on a case on the Indian Child Welfare Docket. When asked why she is a CASA, Kim says: “I became involved in CASA in the fall of 2020 when COVID was still looming in our community. At the time, I learned that many kids were stuck at home with parents who lost their jobs during COVID, increased alcohol and drug consumption, and or experienced other stresses due to the hard times they were experiencing, and all of those stresses may have increased the likelihood, frequency, and or severity of abuse. This realization led me to become involved in CASA. I haven’t thought twice about making the decision to be a CASA.” Kim has lived in Tulsa for 28.5 years. She and her husband Mark have 12-year-old twin boys, Blake and Luke and a dog named Taco. She enjoys traveling all around the country and the world with her family. She plays tennis (“not well” she says), runs, cycles, and loves getting outdoors to enjoy nature. Kim says what she enjoys most about being a CASA is how fulfilling it is making a difference in a child’s life and “working towards getting kids into safe and happy homes, whether that is back with their own parents or in a foster/adoptive home.” “In my cases, I have always had at least one child that was in need of an IEP within their school. Whether this was because they had moved around so much they were behind, had a learning/development issue, or whatever reason it may be, I enjoy helping to ensure they got the proper help at school to ensure their success down the road. These kids deserve as much of a chance as they can get; they didn’t choose the life they were dealt.” “Kim has always been willing to take on even the hardest of cases. She looks at all aspects of the case with an open mind. She fiercely advocates for educational opportunities for the children on her cases. It has been an honor to work with her for most of her tenure at CASA.” - Cheryl Wright, Lead Advocate Supervisor
