### Streamline Your CASA Volunteer Screening Process

Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) programs play a vital role in protecting children's best interests in the child welfare system. Finding dedicated, qualified volunteers requires a thorough vetting process—and that starts with a comprehensive background investigation authorization form.

This **CASA Background Investigation Authorization template** gives CASA programs, nonprofit organizations, and juvenile courts a professional, compliant way to collect all necessary consent and information from prospective volunteers. The form captures personal identification details, criminal history disclosure, training verification, and authorization for character reference checks—all in one streamlined digital experience.

#### Why Paperform for CASA Volunteer Screening?

Using Paperform's doc-style editor, you can customize this template to match your program's specific requirements and brand identity. Conditional logic ensures volunteers only see questions relevant to their situation, while the multi-page layout keeps the experience organized and less overwhelming than a single long form.

Once submitted, responses flow automatically into your workflow. Connect the form to your CRM, volunteer management system, or Google Sheets via native integrations, or use **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to build automated workflows that route applications to review committees, trigger background check requests with your screening provider, and send follow-up emails based on approval status.

For programs managing multiple county chapters or affiliates, Paperform's Agency+ plan lets you deploy consistent screening forms across locations while maintaining centralized oversight and reporting. With SOC 2 Type II compliance and data residency controls, you can trust that sensitive volunteer information is handled securely throughout the screening process.

If your CASA program requires volunteers to sign acknowledgment statements or disclosure agreements, consider pairing this form with **[Papersign](https://papersign.com)** to automatically generate and send signature-ready documents based on submitted responses—keeping your entire onboarding process digital, auditable, and efficient.

#### Built for Child Advocacy Organizations

This template is designed specifically for CASA programs, child advocacy centers, guardian ad litem programs, and other nonprofit organizations recruiting volunteers to work with vulnerable populations. Whether you're screening 50 or 500 volunteers annually, Paperform scales with your mission—no developer required.
