Description

Looking for a meaningful way to give back? Learn how you can transform the life of a Coachella Valley youth in foster care as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.

CASAs volunteers are trained by Voices for Children and matched with a child or sibling group in foster care. They get to know the child’s situation, communicate with professionals on the case, and ensure the child’s needs are being met. Right now, 24 local children are waiting for a CASA of their own, so the need is real.

Voices for Children invites you to attend an in-person information session on Thursday, October 1, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Regional Access Project (RAP) Foundation located at 41-550 Eclectic St. in Palm Desert.

During the session, you will:

• Learn about the role of a CASA, the training and support provided, and the difference you can make in a child’s life.
• Meet the Voices for Children team, hear directly from a CASA volunteer, and discover how your time and compassion can help a local child feel seen, supported, and heard.
• Learn about the application process and the next steps to becoming a CASA volunteer.
