Continuing Education

All CASA of Central Texas Volunteers are required to complete 12 hours of continuing education annually. CASA will hold trainings throughout the year and these trainings can be found on our calendar. In addition to these trainings, volunteers may also attend outside workshops, participate in webinars, read articles and books, and view videos. Volunteers are to enter in their hours and summaries into Optima’s Training Logs.
