VOLUNTEER – BECOME A CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers get to know the child and gather information from everyone involved in their daily life, including family members, foster parents, teachers, daycare providers, doctors, lawyers, social workers, and other relevant persons. CASA volunteers use the information gathered to report to the judge, advocating for the child’s needs while in the foster care system. As a volunteer, you commit to represent a child’s best interests while they are in care.

We welcome people from all walks of life. As a CASA volunteer, you will be thoroughly trained and well supported by professional staff to help you through each case.
