Description
A CASA Volunteer amplifies the voice for children in foster care who have been abused and neglected. Working in conjunction with case professionals and attorneys, a CASA Volunteer advocates for the best interests of a child. A CASA meets at least monthly with the child and attends monthly team meetings with case professionals, parents, and/or foster parents. A CASA will meet with teachers, daycare providers, medical and mental health providers, and other service providers as needed. At least once every six months, a CASA will write a court report with recommendations to the court. A CASA Volunteer will also attend periodic court hearings. No special background or education is required to become a CASA Volunteer! Read more information, explore the training calendar, and complete an application at www.casaomaha.org/volunteer.
