Volunteer

Advocacy is Never Cancelled = We Need You!

Every year, the Courts in our area handle hundreds of child abuse and neglect cases.

Every one of them is much more than just a file…each is a child’s life.

The children assigned to our Program need someone to stand up for them.

Someone to stand up for their hopes, dreams, and futures.

Someone with a super-heroic heart and a commitment to something bigger than themselves.

Someone who is willing to try something unique and forever change a life.

Could that someone be YOU?

No prior experience necessary – we will train you in the ways of a CASA!

Qualifications:

  • CASA Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age.
  • CASA Volunteers must have the ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
