You can either have the youth fill out the form online during a visit with you (easier option) OR you can have the youth fill out the hard copy print version form with your assistance during a visit and then you can fill out the form electronically afterwards.
- To print a hard copy of the Life Skills Assessment, simply click on the below link and then right click on the form and select PRINT.

Please contact your Advocate Supervisor if you have any further questions or concerns.
Youth Survey
We want to know what the CASA children have to say about their experience having a CASA Volunteer in their lives. This information is important since CASA is all about listening to the voices of the children. Please have your CASA child fill out the below Youth Survey (your assistance is welcomed) 6 months after you were appointed to the case & when the case closes. Submit the completed form to your Advocate Supervisor.
