Casa of Yellowstone County

Yellowstone Casa is a donor funded non-profit organization whose work is accomplished entirely through volunteers. Per national Casa standards, Yellowstone Casa volunteers receive an initial 30 hours of training. Once training is complete, Casa volunteers are sworn in by a judge and assigned a case at which time they receive extensive ongoing case supervision by Casa staff and receive an additional 18 hours of training every year to remain a Casa volunteer. Donor funds are utilized to support the recrutiment, training and ongoing supervision of 188 volunteers who served 366 court appointed children in Yellowstone County. The goal of Yellowstone Casa is to train new volunteers in order to provide a Casa volunteer for every abused and neglected child in Yellowstone County.
