VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Dependency & Neglect
Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Volunteers provide the Court and other responsible persons with independent and objective information regarding the safety, permanency and wellbeing of the child. CASAs learn of the opportunities for advocacy by spending time with their child. Children and youth involved in our Dependency & Neglect program are appointed through the court system and not referrals.

Truancy Court
Truancy CASA Volunteers are appointed to cases that are open due to underlying barriers keeping the child out of school. They help to understand such barriers to help children achieve academic success. They work closely with the school district and professionals to mitigate concerns before they rise to the level of a Dependency & Neglect case.

Legacy Project
Legacy Project Mentors work with a young person between the ages of 13 and 23 to assist with acquiring life skills, goal setting, and resource navigation within the community. Many of the participants have been involved in the foster care system, the truancy system or the juvenile justice system.

Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency CASA volunteers are appointed to cases where the youth has an open juvenile delinquency case. The juvenile justice system is intricate and complicated. Volunteers will focus on the youth’s strengths and set goals as they provide ongoing support and advocacy to reduce recidivism.
