CASA of Middlesex County is seeking volunteers to advocate for children who have been abused or neglected. When a child is in foster care, having a CASA means they are more likely to find a permanent home, spend less time in foster care, and perform better in school. Champion one of these children from your community and safeguard a child’s well-being through advocacy in the court today.

Join us for our upcoming information sessions to find out more about becoming a CASA advocate! These information sessions will provide you with more information on what we do at CASA of Middlesex County, what you might do as a CASA Advocate, and what the process of becoming an advocate looks like. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

For more information, contact CASA of Middlesex County Outreach Coordinator, Paul Baker at paul@casaofmidddlesexcounty.org.
