Impacts from COVID-19 have left more students with gaps in their educational experiences at the same time it has increased stresses. Learning Partners are matched with at-risk students to help them with their academic and life skills.

Become a role model for a school-aged child. Under the direction of the classroom teacher or other personnel, you will support the student and help confidently build successes. You will meet once each week, at school, during the school day. You will help with schoolwork while tutoring for accomplishment, consistency and life skills, not grade point averages. Consistently being there --showing up when you said you would -- means a lot to a youth struggling in a school environment.

One hour each week can make a huge difference. Expect training, monthly volunteer meetings, and professional support. Expect to make a difference in the life of a student. Most referrals are school based. We have a renewed need for Volunteer Support, and you are encouraged to apply today!

About Grand Traverse County CASA

Location:

Family Division Volunteer Services, 280 Washington St., Ste. B150, Traverse City, MI 49684, US

Mission Statement

The mission of CASA is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courts. We promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.

Description

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 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. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
