The person will then follow the volunteer protocol on your website, whether that is to submit a form, sign up for an information session, complete an application or contact you via email. All of the volunteer buttons for your individual programs link to the page on your website that best gives these instructions to a potential volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44185_46f4cc-86\"><strong>Provide additional information on the role of a volunteer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve implemented an AI chatbot where website visitors can type questions they might have about CASA or being a CASA volunteer and get real-time answers.
