Volunteer advocates sought for children
Court Appointed Special Advocates of Philadelphia (CASA) is seeking dedicated volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who are victims of abuse or neglect and have been placed in out-of-home care, receiving services from the Philadelphia Department of Human Services.
The CASA volunteers serve as the “eyes and ears of the court” by providing a detailed investigation of each child’s situation and recommendations to the court to aid the judge in planning decisions. Each volunteer is assigned to an experienced CASA staff person to help guide them in their work.
CASA volunteers are asked to make a 2-year commitment and undergo a thorough 30-hour training course and background checks. Typically, a CASA spends an average of 10-15 hours per month working on a case.
