CASA of San Joaquin County is currently recruiting community volunteers. CASA volunteers serve as the “eyes and ears” for the Court, and provide a “voice” for the child throughout a sometimes very complicated court process. CASA of San Joaquin County provides the screening, training and on-going support necessary to be successful advocates for the neediest of children in our County. Volunteers are asked to give a minimum commitment of 18 months for the resolution of permanent placement for the CASA child. The CASA volunteer provides continuity by staying on the case until it is permanently resolved. Volunteers are expected to have contact with their CASA child every week, attend court hearings as needed, and provide written reports to the court. The written reports include all interviews, visits, and assessments taken by the CASA in regard to recommending a safe permanent placement for the CASA child.

If you, or someone you know is interested in becoming a CASA volunteer, please print out the Volunteer Application and fax it to us at (209) 464-2272 or contact Sue Winslow, Program Manager at (209) 644-5320.
