Questions

Autobiography

The CASA application is extensive, but it does not necessarily provide all relevant information about you as a potential volunteer. Please elaborate upon your personal history in the following Autobiography section (recommended 1 - 3 paragraphs). The following prompts are possible ideas, but none of these are mandatory and you are more than what is in this list:

- Your family background, childhood, and culture, including your family beliefs and values
- What was your earliest memory? What were your mother and father like? Did you grow up with siblings?
- What happened when you were an adolescent? What led you to make the decisions to become the person you are today?
- Describe your career, relationships, children, and any life-altering events that have occurred
