Court Appointed Special Advocate - Prince George's County, Inc.
CASA/Prince George's County is a volunteer-based organization that partners with the juvenile court to positively impact the lives of abused and neglected children. It is known that incidences of abuse and neglect increase during disasters. CASA volunteers change a child's story by becoming a trusted advocate for the best interests of children and teens in foster care.
The session will take place ONLINE via Zoom.
CASA volunteers are needed more than ever. We cannot forget about the 300 children who don’t yet have a volunteer right now. By training to become a CASA volunteer now, you can help us support the surge in cases as things get better.
To become a volunteer, you must be at least 21 years old or older and live/work in the area.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)/Prince George's County, Inc. is a volunteer-based organization that partners with the juvenile court to positively impact the lives of abused and neglected youth living in foster care. CASA volunteers change a child's story by becoming a trusted advocate for the best interests of children and teens.
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.
This is a Virtual Opportunity, with no fixed address.
