? CASA Volunteers are everyday people who become trained in promoting the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect, and are navigating the child welfare system. CASA Volunters are assigned only one case at a time, and spend an average of 5-10 hours a month advocating for their case until the child finds a safe, permanent, and loving home.

Join staff from CASA on March 25th at 5pm to learn more about our CASA program's success over the past 30 years, and find out if this unique, flexible, and fulfilling volunteer opportunity is right for you.
