Complete our Volunteer Interest Form, so that we can match you with a volunteer opportunity that best suits your availability and interests.
A Court Appointed Special Advocate is a volunteer sworn in by a judge
to advocate for the best interest of children who have been abused and neglected and are dependent wards of the state. As a CASA, you are a beacon of hope for abused and neglected youth. You will change a child's life.
To become a CASA, you must complete our 30-hour training program. After being sworn in, you receive a case involving a child or siblings in foster care. The average time commitment is 8-12 hours per month for two years. By gathering information regarding the child's circumstances, attending court proceedings, and writing court reports, the CASA volunteer recommends medical, dental, educational and emotional services for the child, and ensures that the child receives services ordered by the Court. We welcome volunteers with ASL and bilingual speaking abilities, volunteers with lived experience, and volunteers from underserved communities.
