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 a one-hour information session, where we describe the role and impact our volunteers have.
We are offering information sessions in the following locations:
- Long Beach 8/8 at 6:00pm and 9/19/17 at 12:00pm
- Torrance on 8/19/17 at 10:00am
- Santa Monica on 8/22/17 at 6:00pm
- San Pedro on 8/31/17 at 5:30pm
- Redondo Beach on 9/6/17 at 6:00pm
- Westchester on 9/9/17 at 10:00am
- West LA on 9/14/17 at 10:00am
To RSVP for one of these information sessions, please visit: http://casala.org/informationsessions/ or call 323-859-2888. More information is available at http://casala.org/.
