Carson City area CASA volunteer information hour and training set for July 12
Love working with children? Want to be a voice for a child in the child welfare system? Do you want to stand up and make a difference in a child's life? Then this volunteer opportunity is for you — become a CASA team member.
What is CASA?
Well, a CASA is someone who advocates.
Someone who listens and watches.
Someone who pays attention to those little details.
Someone who notices when a child shies away from a hug. Someone who notices when a child stands awkwardly, off to the side, looking longingly into the group.
Someone who sees the tears.
Someone who WANTS to see the laughter.
CASAs are volunteers. Advocates. People like you or me. Some of us have a college education. Some of us graduated high school. Some of us are single parents and some of us come from big families.
But, we all have one thing in common. Children. That want, that need, that drive to help those wonderful, delightful, bright and beautiful next generations.
CASAs advocate for kids that have been removed from their homes by the Division of Child and Family Services due to abuse or neglect. CASAs talk with that child's teacher. Their parents and friends. CASAs will talk to that child’s doctor or maybe their principal. CASAs talk a lot and we get to know many, many people. Knowing those people? Is what makes it possible for us to know our CASA child.
That said...
It's that time again, CASA training is to begin again and bring forth our next wonderful and dedicated group of new volunteers.
All you need is a big heart and a little bit of time. These are our children. The community's children. Let's help them. Be their voice. Be their friend.
New training begins Thursday, July 12, 5:30 p.m. at the CASA Office, 1539 E 5th Street, Carson City. Please call Melanie McCormick with any questions, (775) 291-7069.
