CASA Volunteers: Advocating for Abused and Neglected Children
Known as CASA Volunteers, Court Appointed Special Advocates are community members trained and supported by ProKids to advocate in the best interest of abused and neglected children. In about 10 hours a month, a CASA Volunteer gets to know the child and everyone in the child’s life so they can advise the court on the best way the child can have a safe, permanent, nurturing home. By speaking up for the child, a CASA Volunteer can help a child heal from their trauma and move onto a brighter future.
The First Step to Change a Child’s Life is a ProKids Snapshot.
During this informational session, you will learn more about our mission, the incredible children we serve, and the many ways you would be good at this work. We do not ask for a donation.
It’s never been easier to attend a Snapshot: these virtual sessions last one hour and take place over Zoom. After you make your reservation, you’ll receive all the information you need to participate.
After you attend a Snapshot, you would then begin training in the ProKids CASA University. Classes are rotated through the year, including evening and Saturday sessions. Within less than 6 months, you can advocate for an abused or neglected child, supported by a ProKids Advocacy Team.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity (#31-1020021), ProKids depends on a committed community of donors and volunteers.
