Right now, 150 children experiencing foster care in our community need someone like you-an advocate who will stand up for their best interests, help reunify them with their families, or find them a safe and permanent home.

We need compassionate, committed volunteers to be the voice for these children and guide them through their journey. You can be the hero they’re waiting for!

Our Fall Volunteer Training begins on October 29th through November 14th, with sessions from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Training is fully virtual, so you can join from the comfort of your home. To get started, please complete the volunteer inquiry at douglascountycasa.org and prepare for an interview.
