Today, more than 200 children are waiting for
volunteer mentor-advocates of their own.
A judge has referred them to CASA for advocacy,
but there simply aren't enough trained volunteers
to go around. We need your help to make a difference...one
child at a time.
Every day, abused and neglected children in
Orange County are taken from their homes and
placed into foster care because their parents
cannot - or will not - take proper or safe care
of them. CASA volunteers are needed to
help make sure that the educational, emotional,
medical and practical needs of these children
are identified and met.
CASA volunteers are ordinary people...men and
women, students and executives, retirees
and busy professionals…who give of their
time and hearts to make an extraordinary difference
for some of Orange County's most vulnerable
children.
As a volunteer, you will form a unique one-on-one
relationship with your assigned child and will
become the best equipped person in your child’s
life to know what he or she truly needs.
CASA will provide all of the training you need
to be a powerful voice for a child's best interest.
We just ask that each volunteer commits to spending
time with his or her assigned child at least
twice a month – visiting at the child’s
placement, going to a park or sometimes attending
special activities and events together. You
will also periodically attend court hearings
(typically twice annually) and additional time
may be required for advocating for the best
interests of your child.
See how you can make a difference! We
would love to hear from you to answer any questions
or have you join us for an upcoming information
session.
