Studies show that foster youth with CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) get the services they need sooner, longer, and have better overall outcomes. This is especially true for youth who speak English as a second language. Right now there is an urgent need for bilingual volunteers, who speak both English and Spanish. As a CASA, you will spend 10 to 15 hours a month working with and advocating for youth in foster care. If you, or someone you know, speaks Spanish we invite you to attend an information session and learn how you can help. Help us provide a trained advocate for every child who needs one. Voices for Children's volunteer information sessions will take place online via Zoom on the following dates and times: • Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. • Tuesday, March 15 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. • Tuesday, March 29 from 6 p.m. 7:30 p.m. Register here for free!
