Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA
volunteers, change the lives of abused and neglected children by representing
their best interests in court. CASA volunteers monitor the child's health and
education, help identify the best interests of the child, submit
recommendations to the court, and are sworn officers of the court. Monroe
County CASA urgently needs community members like you to become child advocates
as children are currently on a waitlist. Applications are currently being
accepted for the upcoming training, which will be 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Tues.
and Fri. from Feb. 19 to Apr. 2. Applications are due Feb. 8. Child advocates
must be at least 21, have reliable transportation, and have daytime flexibility.
The average time commitment is 10-15 hours a month. Please contact Amanda Wyatt
at (812) 333-2272 ext. 14 or info@monroecountycasa.org.
