CASA volunteers are everyday people \u2013 teachers, business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and grandparents \u2013 who are committed to making a difference for children who might otherwise slip through the cracks in an overburdened foster care system. They are appointed by judges to guide one child or one set of siblings through the system to safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. CASA volunteers research case records and speak to each person involved in a child\u2019s life, including family members, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and social workers. Call Ginny Vogel to volunteer.\u00a0 \u00a0260-760-6746<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CASA volunteers are everyday people \u2013 teachers, business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and grandparents \u2013 who are committed to making a difference for children who might otherwise slip through the cracks in an overburdened foster care system.

They monitor the progress of the child and family throughout the case and advocate for the child\u2019s current and future needs in court, in school, and in agency meetings. Their independent evaluations allow the court to make better informed decisions. Because CASA volunteers serve on one case at a time, they truly get to know the child and can give each case the sustained, personal attention it deserves. We invite you to join our family of volunteers and make a difference in a child\u2019s life \u2013 and your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n
