CASA of NH Launches Online Application

Volunteers needed to help Granite State's abused, neglected children.

Skip the stamps and ditch the ballpoint pens. Applying to Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Hampshire just became a whole lot easier.

In an effort to increase its capacity to be able to serve 100 percent of the state’s abused and neglected children, CASA announces it has developed an volunteer application that can be submitted online.

The questions are the same, the avenue for submitting an application is all that has changed. Visit casanh.org/onlineapplication to apply to be a volunteer advocate now. Those who prefer to go the pen and paper, envelope, and stamp route, still can – the PDF version of the application can be downloaded from the same page.
