On-Going Training Opportunities for Active CASA Volunteers

 

“Volunteering for CASA has been a very rewarding experience for me.  If I can be a positive influence for the children I serve as their CASA volunteer, and the children know that I am someone they can count on who cares about them, I have accomplished what I set out to do.”  

– Renee Hall, CASA Volunteer

Overview

CASA is the only volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens as appointed members of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers typically handle just one case at a time - and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that children need in order to thrive. Read a child's story to see how you can change a life. Are you ready to stand up for a child who needs you?

Inquire today about the power you have to change a child's life.
