Court Appointed Special Advocates Informational Orientation

Do you want to do something significant with your time? If you can spare a couple of hours a week, you CAN make a  life-changing  difference  for  a court-dependent abused, abandoned or neglected child in your own community!

Court Appointed Special Advocates (C.A.S.A.) is a nation-wide non profit organization that trains volunteers to advocate for abused, neglected and abandoned kids in the foster care system.  Currently in Ventura County, there are over  1,000 court-dependent children living in foster and group homes. Over 200 of these children who are the most "at risk" because they have few or no family supports, are appointed to our program.  

We have a great need for more volunteers– especially men, and those who are bi-lingual in Spanish and English! An Informational Orientation is taking place  Tuesday  May 29th, 2012  from  6:30 - 8 pm at a location in Camarillo for people to learn more about how they can help.  If you are interested in attending, please contact Bernadette at (805) 389-3120 or email bernadette@casaofventuracounty.org   You’ll be glad you did and so will a child in need!  (Tax deductible donations are also GREATLY appreciated ! Please mail to CASA of Ventura County, POB 1135, Camarillo, CA 93011-1135)
