Opportunities From: Volunteer LNK

CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected, truant and ungovernable children and youth in Juvenile Court. CASA volunteers are asked to commit to serving for one year and must complete 30 hours of pre-service training before being assigned to a child/children. CASA volunteers are an outside-the-system, third party who must objectively view the details of a case (or a family's circumstances) and provide recommendations or issues for the court's attention that are in the child's best interests. CASA volunteers are assigned to a Volunteer Coordinator who works with them and can help them navigate the often chaotic child welfare system. CASA volunteers are asked to provide 3 references and must pass a local, state and national criminal background check along with child/adult abuse registry check. CASA volunteers get cases moving through the system, expedite permanency and make sure the children have the services they need to grow and thrive.
