CASA hosts March 1 volunteer information and training hour
Due to the cold and ugly weather the past couple of days, Court Appointed Special Advocates, also known as CASA, is again offering an information hour. Currently, there are over 100 children in the Carson City child welfare system. Less than 20 of those children are headed towards reunification with their parents.
Many children are placed with fictive kin/family members or they are in Foster Care. With the shortage of Foster Homes in Carson City, we're being forced to move our Community children into outlying, rural areas of Nevada.
These children have been removed from their homes, their schools, their friends ~ They need someone! Someone to step in and advocate. Someone that they can trust, that they can connect with. That someone could be you, a CASA Advocate. Our CASA Volunteers speak up for a child who has had their voice taken away. Our volunteers don't just attend Court, we go to Basketball games, we go to Band Concerts at our Carson City schools and we even take our CASA kids out for ice cream! There is so much that you can do for a child that you are assigned and you get to make that connection with that young individual and you can root for them and advocate for them and fight for them!
So please, join us and become part of something greater. Advocate for a child today, complete our CASA Training and do something amazing for a child.
Every child has a chance and that’s you!
Please join us for the new CASA Training with CASA of Carson City.
