CASA for Children seeks volunteers for children in foster care

CASA for Children is currently seeking dedicated community members to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers.

CASA volunteers help make sure that children who have experienced abuse or neglect don’t have to face the system alone.

CASA volunteers get to know the children and families they serve, work closely with professionals on the case, and speak up in court to advocate for what each child needs the most safety, stability, and a permanent home.

“No child should have to navigate the foster care system alone,” Suzanne Hughes, Executive Director, said. “CASA volunteers are the steady, trusted adult many of these children need during an incredibly uncertain time.”

Why volunteer with CASA?

• Make a real impact: Help change a child’s story by showing up and speaking out.

• Get the support you need : CASA provides thorough training and guidance throughout your time with the program – no previous experience required.

• Be part of a movement: Join a team of caring, committed volunteers who want to make a difference.

CASA volunteers come from all walks of life, and you don’t need any special training or background, just a passion for helping kids and a willingness to learn.

To learn more or to sign up for one of our upcoming training or information sessions, contact Jenny Crosby, Training & Outreach Coordinator, at jenny@casaok.org or 918-6851501.
