Become a CASA Volunteer Advocate

Flexible Schedule | Louisville, KY 40217

You can help change a child's story. Apply to be a CASA volunteer online at www.CASARiverRegion.org/volunteer. There are 150-200 children in our service area (including Jefferson, Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Trimble, Shelby and Spencer Counties) at any given time who are on the waiting list for a CASA volunteer advocate to be trained and assigned to their case. These children have experienced abuse and/or neglect, and through no fault of their own, are involved in the family court system. They need someone like you, to be a safe adult and role-model, a friend, an advocate and voice for them in court. A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a community volunteer-like you-who is interviewed, screened, and trained by our CASA Advocacy staff and then appointed and sworn in by a Family Court Judge to advocate for the best interests of a child who has experienced abuse and/or neglect. As a CASA volunteer, you have the opportunity to be a safe adult, a mentor and a trustworthy friend in the life of a child. By observing the conditions of the child's placement, monitoring their progress in school or daycare, and reporting back to court every few months with a progress update, you can help ensure that the child's perspective is heard and carefully considered in the court process. With as little as an hour a week, you can also help ensure that the child's needs are being met by their parents or temporary guardians. CASA of the River Region is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency that began serving children of Jefferson County over 40 years ago. CASA is a member of the National CASA Association. Last year, nearly 60,000 CASA volunteers served more than 240,000 abused and neglected children through 954 program offices nationwide. CASA volunteers have helped more than two million abused children since the first CASA program was established in 1977. There are currently 21 CASA programs across the state of Kentucky. A child is waiting for a volunteer like you.
