    Description

    ¿Hablas español? Bilingual volunteers needed for children in foster care

    Did you know that close more than children and youth in Union County spent time in foster care last year? And almost fifty percent of them identify as Latinx.

    These infants, toddlers, elementary age kids, and older youth all need compassionate, bilingual adults on their side to provide advocacy and caring during such a tumultuous time.

    You can be that person for about 15 hours per month.

    As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer, you will help to ensure their needs are met and their best interests are represented. From helping siblings find permanent homes together to uncovering information that helps reunite a loving family, volunteer advocates make an incredible difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.

    Join us as an advocate and change a child's life.

    No experience or formal education needed!
