20 local programs. 56 counties. One mission.
Each local CASA program is independently led but shares the same standards, training, and oversight. Find the program nearest you, see how volunteer cases are assigned, and learn what training looks like.
Local CASA directory
Cases are assigned through your local CASA program — not through the statewide office. To volunteer, donate to your county, or speak with a program director, start with the directory.
See the statewide coverage map on the homepage for a visual overview of all 56 counties currently served.
What new volunteers learn
Reach out to your local program. They'll walk you through a brief application, references, and a background check.
Approximately 30 hours covering child welfare, courtroom procedure, trauma-informed advocacy, and report writing.
A judge swears you in. Your local program assigns your first case and pairs you with a program coordinator for support.
After you're assigned, expect 10–15 hours per month for the duration of your case — typically until the child reaches permanency. Continuing education hours are required each year.
Shared standards across every program
Every Nebraska program meets the standards set by National CASA/GAL — from volunteer screening and supervision to data reporting and program governance.
Nebraska CASA Association coordinates compliance, shared training, technology, and statewide advocacy on behalf of local programs.
