Learn How You Can Make a Difference in an Abused or Neglected Child's Life

It’s a tragic fact that child maltreatment occurs thorough our state, in every community, yet most of the time we’re unaware of it because it rarely makes the news.

Identities are protected, services are put in place; we go on with our lives thinking all is well.

Have you been troubled about recent news of child abuse in New Hampshire? This is your opportunity to make a difference in young lives.

CASA of New Hampshire, a statewide nonprofit, provides volunteer guardians ad litem to be the voice of these children in court proceedings, and to identify and advocate for what is in the child’s best interest in these cases, to ensure that each child grows up in a safe and permanent home.

On Wednesday, June 10, at 7 p.m., CASA will hold an informational session in the Whipple Free Library that is free and open to the public. Hear from CASA staff as well as a couple volunteers from New Boston who will share their experiences with attendees about how they are able to make an impactful difference in the life of an abused or neglected child. Our volunteers come from all backgrounds and no experience in child services or law is needed. Volunteers simply need to be adults who have desire to help give a child a chance at a stable home life. The work is challenging, but rewarding.

CASA of New Hampshire strives to protect every abused child’s right to live, learn and grow in the embrace of a loving family. For more information or to volunteer or donate, visit www.casanh.org or call 626-4600.
