Voices for Children, CASA is an organization of volunteers who provide court ordered advocacy for children and families within the foster care system. Voices for Children serves Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon and Madison Counties.
This Non-Profit 5013c recruits, trains and empowers community members to create and strengthen support networks around these families in crisis for years to come.
A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is appointed by a judge to ensure a child’s best interests are being met. CASAs gather information, locate potential relative caregivers, advocate for the child's educational, psychological and medical needs, and make recommendations to the court for a safe and permanent home as quickly as possible. In doing so, they provide stability for the child in a time of constant uncertainty.
CASAS come from all walks of life; they are students, full-time employees, retirees, etc. What they have in common is they have a passion for strengthening families and keeping children safe and supported as they grow!
If you prefer short & medium-term assignments/projects, we also have opportunities through VFC ROAR, https://www.vfcbrazos.org/vfcroar.
