Individual Volunteer Opportunity: Become an Advocate at CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are appointed by the judges in each county to advocate for the best interests of a child in foster care. CASAs meet with the child or children on a regular basis, consult with professionals, including the foster care workers, attorneys, and schools, as well as gather information from family members and foster placements. CASAs spend an average of 10-12 hours per month on their assigned case.
To become an Advocate:
· Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age
· Complete an application, interview, and background screening
· Commit to at least one year of service
· Complete the 30-hour Pre-Service Training requirement over the course of five weeks
For more details about CASA’s Pre-Service Training or to learn how to become a CASA advocate, please reach out to our Training & Volunteer Director, Jamie Sink, at jsink@casajwc.com. You can also fill out our Volunteer Inquiry Form by visiting www.casajwc.org/get-involved today.
