A CASA is a volunteer from the community who wants to help find a safe, permanent, nurturing home for a child who has been a victim of abuse or neglect. CASAs aren't required to have a legal background to become a volunteer, but before becoming a CASA, they must undergo 30 hours of comprehensive training and pass a rigorous screening process.

Advocates for Children needs volunteers to help with a wide range of opportunities each year. If you'd like to help us behind the scenes, consider these volunteer opportunities:

• Volunteer to help out at our annual Racquetball Tournament each Spring.
• Help out at our annual Ride the Range Motorcycle Rally or Home on the Range event for children during the summer months.
• Provide support at our annual golf tournament in the Fall.
• Volunteer to help out at our annual fundraiser, The Red Wagon Ball, each October.
• Provide clerical support in the office
• Assist with research or compiling statistics
• Technical support with our computers
• Do you have specialized skills in other areas? We'd love to hear from you!

What began as a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with one part time employee has now grown into a thriving organization with a staff of 15: ten full-time and six part-time employees. The staff oversees the efforts of roughly 300 volunteers each year who serve approximately 700 children annually, contributing a total of more than 26,000 volunteer hours to the community.
