CASA Children’s Intervention Services recruits and trains volunteers to investigate a child's situation and to advocate for the best interests of the child in court. We seek volunteers fluent in both English and Spanish to close the language gap and make sure our Hispanic children grow up in safe and permanent homes. No prior experience in child welfare or the law is required.
To learn more about child advocacy with CASA, attend a Virtual information session. Contact JoAnn at jpolen@casacis.org or call (703) 330-8145 for dates and meeting links.
