Essex CASA Information Meeting: Make a Difference in the Life of a Child in 2012!

Interested in becoming a CASA Volunteer?

Court Appointed Special Advocates are volunteers appointed by the Family Court to gather information about a child’s needs while in foster care and to represent a “child’s voice in court”.  For the almost 3,000 foster children in Essex County, their time in out-of-home placement can often be lessened and their chances for trauma recovery greater through the presence of trained CASA Child Advocates. 

By attending an information meeting, you can learn how YOU can help improve the lives of abused and neglected children as a volunteer CASA – Court Appointed Special Advocate, for Essex County youth in foster care.  You will get an overview of the Essex County CASA program, the foster care situation in Essex County and the role of a volunteer Advocate.  Meetings last approximately 1 ½ hours.
