| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | CASA VOLUNTEERS ARE TRAINED AND COURT APPOINTED TO ADVOCATE FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN IN THE JUVENILE COURT SYSTEM WITH A GOAL OF ACHIEVING A STABLE AND PERMANENT HOME FOR EACH AND EVERY CHILD. THE VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE THE COURT WITH INFORMATION THE JUDGE NEEDS IN ORDER TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE IN THE CHILD'S BEST INTEREST. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | VOLUNTEERS DROVE OVER 150,000 MILES AND DOCUMENTED 16,601 HOURS OF SERVICE WHICH IS VALUED AT 356,091 BASED ON VOLUNTEER HOURLY RATES APPROVED BY OUR GRANTING SOURCES. NONE OF THE MILEAGE IS REIMBURSED TO OUR VOLUNTEERS AND IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE RETURN. SPECIFIC TO ADVOCATE SUPERVISION ARE OUR OUTCOME MEASURES AND CHILD SURVEYS. IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADVOCATE BEST INTEREST, ADVOCATE VOLUNTEERS MADE 37,800 CONTACTS WITH THE VARIOUS PARTIES IN THE CASES, AND MADE 2,367 UNDUPLICATED RECOMMENDATIONS. WHEN OUR CASA CHILDREN, AGES 12-18 WERE ASKED; "WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR CASA VOLUNTEER COMES TO SEE YOU?" HERE IS SOME OF WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY: "BECAUSE SHE CARES ABOUT ME AND WANTS ME TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE." "TO GET ME BACK WITH MY SIBLINGS." "BECAUSE SHE LIKES ME AND SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE I'M OKAY." "SHE IS ADVOCATING FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR ME, WHICH SOMETIMES I DO NOT APPRECIATE, BUT SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE SERVICES I NEED." "TO TELL THE JUDGE HOW I AM DOING". "TO HEAR HOW I REALLY FEEL AND TO VISIT WITH MY THERAPIST, THE JUDGE, AND MAYBE MY ATTORNEY ABOUT WHAT IS BEST FOR ME." "I THINK THEY VISIT ME BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT ME MORE THAN THE PAPERWORK." "CAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR ME". "BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME AND CARES ABOUT ME." "SO SHE CAN SEE HOW WE ARE DOING AT HOME." "TO SEE IF WE NEED ANYTHING TO HELP US GET BACK WITH OUR FAMILY." "BECAUSE SHE CARES, ALSO THE GOODNESS OF HER HEART. I ALSO THINK JUST SO I CAN HAVE A FRIEND TO TALK TO." "YOU ARE THE ONE I CAN COUNT ON ALWAYS - TALK TO ME, BE THERE FOR ME." "TO HELP ME AND HELP ME BETTER MYSELF." "TO MAKE US FEEL UN-LONELY." EACH VOLUNTEER COMPLETES OVER 30 HOURS OF SPECIALIZED TRAINING. THE PROGRAM CONTINUES TO UTILIZE TWO STYLES OF BASIC TRAINING; OUR TRADITIONAL TRAINING CURRICULUM AND LAST YEAR'S NEWLY IMPLEMENTED FLEX TRAINING MODEL WHICH COMBINES IN-CLASS SESSIONS WITH AN ONLINE OCCUPATIONAL APPROACH. FLEX TRAINING IS THE PRIMARY MEANS OF ENCOURAGING THE NON-TRADITIONAL LEARNER AND HELPING CASA OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY DIVERSIFY OUR VOLUNTEER BASE BY AGE, GENDER, AND RACE. NEW IN FY 2015 WAS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR MENTORING PROGRAM FOR NEW TRAINEES. RECOGNIZING THE OVERWHELMING EFFECT ABUSE AND NEGLECT CASES CAN HAVE ON THE NEWLY TRAINED ADVOCATE VOLUNTEER, PROGRAMMING WAS ESTABLISHED TO HELP "ONBOARD" THE NEW VOLUNTEER, OFFERING SUPPORT THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF CASE APPOINTMENT, ENSURING ADVOCATE VOLUNTEERS ARE COMFORTABLE MEETING FAMILIES, QUESTIONING THEM IN ORDER TO REPORT TO THE COURT AND PREPARING THEIR FIRST COURT REPORT. CASA OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY STAFF INITIALLY TOOK ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MENTORING NEW TRAINEES AS THE PROGRAM DEVELOPED A MEANS OF INCORPORATING EXPERIENCED, SENIOR VOLUNTEERS IN THE PROCESS WHILE ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH CONFIDENTIALITY AND STATE STATUTES.

THIS TRAINING PROVIDES ADVOCATES WITH EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR HELPING A YOUTH IDENTIFY HIS OR HER POSITIVE TRAITS, HOPES AND ATTAINABLE DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE. COLLABORATIONS CONTINUE TO BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF PROGRAMMING. WORKING WITHIN THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY JUVENILE FAMILY DRUG COURT, A COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH, IS A MEANS TO HELP EXPEDITE FAMILY REUNIFICATION IN THOSE CASES WHEREIN SUBSTANCE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR A PARENT'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE DEPRIVED SYSTEM. OUR PRACTICUM PROGRAM IS WELL RECEIVED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA'S ANNE AND HENRY ZARROW SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK, AND MULTIPLE STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED EACH YEAR. STUDENTS RECEIVE UNDERSTANDING AND SYSTEMATIC HANDS-ON TRAINING WITH CHILD WELFARE AND THE COURT SYSTEM. EXPANDED IN 2014 TO INCORPORATE OKDHS PRACTICUM STUDENTS, CASA OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY CONTINUES TO INCORPORATE OKDHS PRACTICUM STUDENTS INTO ITS PROGRAMMING EACH SUMMER. NOT ONLY ARE WE ENCOURAGING AND TRAINING THE FUTURE WORK FORCE, THIS MODEL IS TRULY PROVING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST MEANS OF CROSS TRAINING THE WORK FORCE FOR IMPROVED WORKING RELATIONSHIPS, COLLABORATIONS, AND ULTIMATELY, IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN. FY 2015 BROUGHT SIGNIFICANT FOCUS TO EDUCATION NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH OKDHS, ET AL IN THEIR APPLICATION FOR A FEDERAL P3 GRANT.
