We have a few day time slots open but the most need is helping out the last shifts of each day. Most needed: Friday @ 6-8 PM, Sat. @ 6-8 PM & 8-10:15 PM, and Sun. @ 2:30-5:00 PM
If you like art and kids you will have fun supervising the art activity. Kids (& adults if they want) are making 3-D collage houses (what a safe and loving home means to them). Easy instructions - mostly just keeping materials organized and reminding to put marker and glue lids back on.

About Court Appointed Special Advocate- Iowa Child Advocacy Board

Child Advocacy Board, 4th Fl. Lucas Bldg., 321 E. 12th St., Des Moines, IA 50319, US
Mission Statement
Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. Too many spend years moving from one temporary home to another. They have no family to call their own. They are more likely than other children to face homelessness, unemployment, even prison as adults. That's why CASA is important. CASA was created to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive.
Description
CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are committed to doing what is best for a child. All our volunteers are trained in courtroom procedure, social services, the juvenile justice system, and the special needs of abused and neglected children. We welcome volunteers from all cultures, professions, and ethnic and educational backgrounds.
