CASA of Children’s Trust is in need of dedicated, committed, and passionate local community members to become CASA volunteer advocates. CASA Volunteers tackle one of society’s greatest challenges; child abuse and neglect. With 207 Roanoke City children and 88 Roanoke County children currently in foster care, the need for CASA volunteers is crucial.
The CASA program of Children’s Trust recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who are appointed to advocate in court for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The volunteers’ advocacy enables judges to make the most well-informed decision for each child’s case.
CASA Director Sammi Rader stated, “Our staff and volunteers have the ability to change a child’s life. Being able to support such passionate, dedicated, and motivated staff and volunteers as they positively impact children’s lives is truly rewarding.
“The love and compassion that is shown through CASA have the potential to positively impact lives for years to come,” states Kathryn, current CASA volunteer.
