Children and teenagers in foster care need caring, compassionate adults to offer support and advocate for their needs while they are involved in the child welfare system. You can take on this role and change a child's life as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.
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.
The best way to learn about this volunteer opportunity is to attend an upcoming information session. During the information session, participants will hear about the foster care system, volunteer requirements, pre-service training, and how CASA volunteers change lives.
