    Description

    Be a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children with CASA Youth Advocates, Inc.

    Be a child's voice!

    A compelling volunteer opportunity helping to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in dependency court proceedings in Delaware and Chester counties. Volunteers are matched with one or more children from a family and work with caregivers, caseworkers, attorneys and other professionals to gather and present information concerning permanency of the children (reunification with the birth family or placement in safe and permanent homes through adoption), appropriate placements, and necessary services.

    Volunteers are provided with initial training and ongoing support including supervision by a case supervisor and continuing education opportunities.

    Time commitment is 10-15 hours a month with flexible hours.
