You are about to complete the application for pre-service training. This is a lengthy form that must be completed in one sitting. You may take as much time as you like to answer the questions, but please note that there is no "save" feature.

Personal Statement
You will need to write 250 words (we count them!) on why you want to be a CASA (use Word or Google Docs to do write it and word count it, then copy and paste in when you get to that part) — there is no wrong answer, just tell us why you want to be a CASA! Your story will be kept confidential and only shared among CASA staff for screening purposes.
