Volunteer

CASA Volunteers fights for the rights of children during the most vulnerable time of their young lives. A trusted adult empowered to ensure that each child is well cared for—able to find a safe, loving, permanent home.

CASA of Mercer and Burlington Counties is actively seeking individuals who may be interested in becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate for a child in foster care. 

• Training classes are held two times a year. 
• Advocates attend 30+ hours of in-class training before being sworn in by a Family Court Judge, enabling them to carry out case investigations and make recommendations about permanency for the child assigned to them. 
• In-service trainings - seminars and workshops - are offered continually so that Advocates may elect to broaden their knowledge conveniently.
