CASA is not your typical volunteer role. That’s okay. We're not looking for typical volunteers.

Become a Volunteer Advocate for a Child

A volunteer advocate is a court-appointed, trained and committed adult who ensures that each child’s individual needs remain a priority in an overburdened child welfare system.
