Orientations/Training

Orientations

Attending an orientation is mandatory and the first step in our application process. Sessions are one hour long and are an important way to find out more about our CASA program and ask questions you might have. They are held in the Advocates for Children offices in San Mateo. Advance registration is required. Please call 650-212-4423 or send an email to Thank you!

Please contact us at the above email or telephone number to register for an orientation.

Orientation and Training is held in our office at 1515 S. El Camino Real, Suite 201 in San Mateo.

Please contact us if you would like to consider holding an orientation or information session at your place of employment or worship, or community or civic organization.
