Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)
Serve as a voice for children who are involved in the juvenile court system in cases of abuse or neglect. Meet with children and the people involved with their care (biological parents, foster parents, school, therapist, pediatrician, etc.) to gather information for a judge to determine the best and safest place for them to live.
This is an intense volunteer opportunity that requires an interview, a 30 hour training and a commitment of one year, or until the child or children are in a safe and permanent home. Initial casework could be up to 10 hours a week, then about 8-10 hours per month thereafter. During this time of Covid-19 precautions, we will be offering CASA trainings in a virtual format. Also, most to all of the CASA work can be done remotely via teleconferencing, phone and electronic communication.
