I agree to the policy below.

By submitting this application electronically, I hereby affirm that all of the answers provided on this volunteer application are true.

I hereby authorize the CASA program and any law enforcement agency that CASA authorizes, to verify my social security number and investigate my background to determine my fitness as a potential volunteer advocate.

I understand that the information requested in this application will be used only for the purpose of determining my suitability as a CASA volunteer.

If I have successfully completed the training and have met all other requirements, and it has been determined that I am a suitable volunteer, I understand that I will be expected to serve a minimum of one year in the CASA program. If unforeseen circumstances prevent me from fulfilling this obligation, I will submit my written resignation to the program director with as much advance notice as possible. I am aware of the sensitive and confidential nature of the official documents, reports and other material I will examine in my capacity as a CASA volunteer. I will discuss these matters only with those persons directly involved in the case or who will be consulted for their professional knowledge and expertise.

I also understand that if for any reason it becomes apparent that my activities are contrary to the policies, goals and/or philosophy of the CASA program, and their desire to provide quality services to abused and neglected children, my services as a CASA volunteer will be terminated.

I submit the statements on this application are true, complete, and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that falsification on this application can disqualify me from consideration or can result in dismissal at a later time.
