Did you know that close to 600 children and youth in Passaic and Union Counties spent time in foster care last year?
These infants, toddlers, elementary age kids, and older youth all need compassionate, caring adults on their side to provide advocacy and support during such a tumultuous time.
You can be that person with only 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.
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.Views dates and register here: https://www.casapassaicunion.org/info-session

This is a required first step on the path to becoming a powerful voice in a child’s life. At the session, we’ll talk about the role of a Court Appointed Special Advocate, the responsibilities, the requirements, and the training that all CASAs go through before being sworn in by the court — and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have too!
Information Sessions are a commitment-free opportunity for you to learn more and to see if becoming a CASA is the right fit for you. Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour. The Registration link: https://www.casapassaicunion.org/info-session
