Bilingual Volunteer Child Advocates are needed at CASA of Middlesex County

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Middlesex County is looking for bilingual, Spanish-speaking volunteers to help children in foster care who have experienced abuse or neglect. You do not need to be a native Spanish speaker, but you should be comfortable communicating in both Spanish and English. We offer training and ongoing support to help you succeed in this important role.

As a CASA volunteer, you will join a caring team focused on making a real difference for children. Volunteers spend time with the child, talk with people involved in the child’s life—like teachers, doctors, family members, and caregivers—and share recommendations with the family court to help make the best decisions about the child’s living situation, services, education, and other important needs. The best CASA volunteers care about justice and are truly interested in helping children. You must be at least 21 years old and willing to complete background checks. Volunteers are asked to work with their assigned children for at least 18 months, and ideally for the whole case. CASA volunteers come from many different backgrounds, with a variety of work, education, and life experiences. Across the country, there are more than 75,000 CASA volunteers.
