Advocates can earn credits toward the required 12 hours of annual continuing education by completing training online.
How to earn continuing-education credit
Review the options below, and then check with your local program coordinator to be sure the topic you choose is eligible for continuing education credit. When approved, record the time spent in completing each activity (reading an article or book, listening to a podcast, viewing a video or participating in an online course) and report it to the CASA office on a monthly basis. If you have any questions call CASA of Mariposa County at (209) 742‑4206.
The following is a list of National CASA podcasts, webinars and opportunities that can be counted towards Advocate In-Service hours if approved by your Program Coordinator.
