CASA for KIDS of Geauga County (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is recruiting volunteers to advocate for the “best interest” of abused and neglected children involved in the juvenile court.
No particular background is required, but volunteers must be at least 24 years of age and have no criminal record. Diversity of age, gender and ethnicity are welcomed.
Professional CASA staff provides 37 hours of pre-service training. Guidance, support and continuing education are also provided after appointment by the juvenile court to serve as the guardian ad litem.
More volunteers are needed to ensure every child has a voice in court. The next training sessions will be in September.
An application and interview must be completed prior to training
Those interested in volunteering should call Julie Weese, 440-279-1697, to get more information and begin the application process.
