Needed: advocates for foster kids
A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained volunteer appointed to speak for a child who is under the jurisdiction of the courts due to abuse or neglect.
“We invite our community to give the gift of time and friendship to a child in foster care,” said Executive Director Heloisa Heinen. “If you care and have about 10 hours a month to spend, being a CASA can be a very gratifying work. A CASA is a powerful voice in a child’s life.”
CASA is calling for volunteers to join the effort with an upcoming training session.
Volunteers spend time with children, monitor needed services, and provide child-focused recommendations to the court based on the best interest of the children they serve.
The Summer Volunteer Training is scheduled to take place in-person at the CASA office the week of Monday, July 18 through Friday, July 22, from 9:00-1:00 pm.
