Volunteers generally review cases one day a month.
Potential volunteers must apply, consent to criminal record and Central Registry checks and complete six hours of initial training. The training includes two sessions held via Zoom and two self-study webinars. Those interested are encouraged to apply as soon as possible so they can be screened and, if approved, scheduled for training.
Once a potential volunteer has completed training, a recommendation is made by the local Family or District Court for appointment to the local CFCRB.
