Carson City CASA volunteer information hour and training set for Thursday
Carson City Court Appointed Special Advocates, also known as CASA, are trained volunteers who represent the best interests of children who have been abused or neglected.
CASA volunteers are appointed by a Judge and serve as the voice of the child in the courtroom. The CASA volunteer helps to ensure that the children are in safe, permanent and thriving environments.
CASAs make independent recommendations to the court that include a child’s placement, school, and emotional well-being. The volunteer remains with that child throughout the duration of a case and provides fact-based information and makes recommendations to the court while becoming a friend and source of support for the child.
The CASA volunteer is oftentimes one of the only stable and caring adults that the child can turn to during a difficult time.
At this time CASA of Carson City is seeking new volunteers who are passionate and dedicated to improving a child's life.
Please come down to the CASA Office and meet our staff, see our Foster Kid's Closet and ask questions about how YOU can help be that difference and support a child in foster care.
Thursday, December 12 at 5:30 p.m., CASA of Carson City, 1539 East 5th Street. It is located in the same parking lot as the Juvenile Court on the corner of 5th Street and Saliman.
Please contact, Executive Director, Melanie McCormick with any questions and to sign up! (775) 882-6776 or email MelanieMcCormickCASA@outlook.com.
