CASA Volunteers Needed: Training in Manchester
CASA of New Hampshire is preparing to train new volunteers to speak up in court on behalf of abused and neglected children from the region. CASA volunteers come from all walks of life - they are your neighbors, colleagues, fellow parishioners and friends.
A CASA volunteer is appointed to advocate for the child’s best interests. The advocate become the "eyes and ears" of the court, making independent, objective recommendations to the judge based on the information they have gathered through meeting with the child and his or her parents, foster parents, social workers, school teachers, therapists and more.
Trainings are held in communities around the state throughout the year. Training in Manchester will begin Friday, Jan. 5. Only volunteers accepted into CASA’s training program, after completing an application and going through our interview process will be admitted into training.

Mission Statement

Description
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire is a nonprofit that recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers to serve as advocates for abused or neglected children throughout the state. CASA volunteer advocates get to know a child and the important people in that child’s life to provide vital information to help a judge make decisions based on the best interests of the child.
CASA advocates truly change a child’s story.
Since CASA was founded in 1989, we have given more than 10,000 New Hampshire children a voice in District and Family courts and a chance at a brighter future.
