Information Session About Volunteering With Kids in Foster Care

CASA helps children who have been abused or neglected. We need volunteers to help us! Attend our Information Session to learn more.

Individuals interested in helping kids in foster care are invited to join Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Middlesex County for an information session on Monday, September 12 from 6-7pm. The session will be held at the CASA Office located at 77 Church St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901.

CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to speak for a child’s best interests. They meet regularly with the child and research the child’s circumstances with the goal of securing a safe and permanent home for the child as quickly as possible. CASA volunteers come from all walks of life, with no special background needed. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and pass background checks.

If you are interested in volunteering and are unable to attend the information session, please call (732) 246-4449, email info@casaofmiddlesexcounty.org or visit www.casaofmiddlesexcounty.org/ for more information and a volunteer application.
