Peer Coordinators

The Peer Coordinator Model is an organizational model using seasoned volunteers to support, coach, and supervises advocate volunteers and is supported by NCASA. The purpose of the new system is:

• To create a fluid system of coaching and support for advocates
• To strengthen everyone’s connections to the program
• To expand the shared knowledge base
• To build solid relationships between all parties involved in a child's case
• To provide a CASA advocate for every child in care

The goal of the peer coordinator model is to serve exponentially more children without having to equally increase staff and budget; it is about working smarter, not harder and to increase retention by building stronger relationships between all of the organization members, paid staff, and volunteer advocates.
