CASA Information Session: January 19, 2022
ORGANIZATION: Court Appointed Special Advocates Court Intervention Services
Please visit the new page to apply.
Help protect abused and neglected children in your community by becoming a volunteer advocate. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) make a difference in abused and neglected children’s lives. We are seeking volunteers who care about children growing up in a safe, permanent, and loving home.
The first step in becoming a CASA volunteer is to attend an information session. At the sessions, guests will hear from a CASA supervisor about the process of advocating for a child who has been abused or neglected. You will also learn about the application process and training requirement. It’s the best way to get the full picture of what’s involved.
The next session will be held Virtually on January 19, 2022 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm.
Contact jpolen@casacis.org or call (703) 330-8145 to receive the link to the meeting or to inquire about alternate dates.
