CASA of Knox County

Become a CASA Advocate

Any adult who completes screening requirements, including a criminal history check, personal reference checks, a personal interview and initial training sessions can speak up for an abused child. 

An applicant must also have a sincere interest in the welfare of children, be able to communicate with a variety of people, have some flexibility in his or her schedule, and have the time to serve as a child’s advocate.  Most advocates volunteer 5 to 10 hours a month.

We welcome people from all racial and cultural backgrounds.

Become a Board Member

We currently have 10 people serving on our volunteer board of directors.  We seek a diverse mix of people who are devoted to our mission of helping abused and neglected children and who also have a desire to assist our agency in being an efficient non-profit business.     

Please contact our office for more information on volunteering in either of these capacities.
