Be A Voice. Become a CASA

Do you have 10–15 hours a month to help a foster child? Become a CASA. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are volunteers, trained to advocate for children in foster care in the courtroom, classroom, and community.

Role Overview

CASA of San Joaquin County is currently recruiting community volunteers to serve as “eyes and ears” for the Court and provide a “voice” for a child at home, in school, and in the courtroom. CASA of San Joaquin County provides the screening, training, and on‑going support necessary to be a successful advocate for the neediest of children in our County. The CASA volunteer provides continuity by staying on the case until it is permanently resolved. Volunteers are expected to have contact with their CASA child every week, attend court hearings as needed, and provide written reports to the court. The written reports include all interviews, visits, and assessments taken by the CASA in regard to recommendations based on the child’s very best interest.
