STAR – Supervisor Training, Assistance, and Resources

STAR (Supervisor Training, Assistance, and Resources) provides resources to help Supervisors train CASA volunteers on how to best advocate for a child in the foster care system. Helping the CASA volunteer understand their role and the roles of other people in the CASA child’s support network will allow them to be better equipped to help with their unique needs.
