Defensores Especiales Nombrados por el Tribunal del Condado de Los Ángeles (conocido en ingles como CASA of Los Angeles) necesita voluntarios bilingües para los miles de niños que están en hogares temporales.

CASA es una organización que a través de voluntarios capacitados ayuda a los niños que están en el sistema foster care, para asegurarse que no solo se atiendan sus necesidades básicas, médicas y de educación sino que abogan por ellos en la corte para que su proceso avance. CASA educa y capacita a estos voluntarios para que ayuden a estos niños abusados y olvidados a recuperar una vida normal en un hogar.

¡Únete a nosotros para incrementar el número de niños que se benefician de la dedicación de CASA! El primer paso para convertirse en un voluntario es asistir a una sesión de información. Más información está disponible en: http://casala.org/volunteer/

About CASA of Los Angeles

Location:

201 Centre Plaza Drive Suite 1100, MONTEREY PARK, CA 91754, US

Mission Statement

CASA of Los Angeles mobilizes community volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Description

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (or CASA) volunteer makes a difference for children in foster care. CASA volunteers are paired to work one-on-one with a child and ensure they have the services and support needed in the areas important to all children: stable placement, education, and healthcare. There are 30,000 kids in the child welfare system in LA and many need the support of a CASA volunteer. The first step toward becoming a CASA volunteer is attending an information session, where we describe the role and impact our volunteers have.
