CASA volunteers can serve as ambassadors of CASA at community events, assist in the CASA Thrift Shop, do administrative work, group projects and more! The first step is to register and attend a Volunteer Open House at https://www.casapinellas.org/volunteer/

Clubs, organizations, corporations and business groups of up to 15 people are welcome to volunteer together. Email Laura at lriiska@casapinellas.org to find out what projects might be available, and to set a date.

Please bring a filled bottle of water whether volunteering for an inside or outside project and wear closed-toe shoes. Dress appropriately for the area you will be working in – business casual for administration work, modest shorts and t-shirt if volunteering outside and comfortable clothing when volunteering in the Thrift Shop. No short-shorts, spaghetti straps or midriffs, please.

All volunteers must be 16 years or older to become a regular, indirect volunteer, and 18 or older to attend training to become a direct volunteer.

Volunteering directly with domestic violence survivors who are recovering from trauma requires special training mandated by the State of Florida and the Department of Children & Families. Once certified, a commitment to a regular volunteer schedule is expected in one of the following areas: Shelter Advocate, Youth Center Advocate, Justice Advocate or Life Skills Advocate. Register for, and attend, a Volunteer Open House for more information and to get started as a volunteer with CASA at https://www.casapinellas.org/volunteer/

For the safety of our staff and participants, all volunteers will be subject to a Level I background check to ensure there is no history of committing acts of domestic violence.
