VOLUNTEER 

There are over 10,000 children in out-of-home placement in New Jersey, and most need your help.  Through June 2008, about 1,400 CASA volunteers worked with 2,238 of those children.  In Somerset and Warren Counties, 61 CASA volunteers served 123 children. The need for volunteers is great.  If you can spare several hours a month, over the course of 1 to 2 years, you could be a CASA volunteer.

Local CASA Programs throughout New Jersey, assist both the Family Court and the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) in protecting the best interests of New Jersey's abused and neglected children.  Local CASA Programs recruit, screen, train, and supervise community volunteers who are appointed by a Family Court Judge to advocate on behalf of individual children in out-of-home placement.
