Volunteer: Court Appointed Child Advocate Volunteer

Who can become a CASA Volunteer?

CASA Volunteers are appointed by family court judges to advocate for the best interest of an abused or neglected child during their time in the child welfare system. They are in essence, the voice of the child, in court. CASA Volunteers interview parents, doctors, educators, foster parents, therapists, and anyone else involved in the life of the child they are assigned. Their goal is to provide child-focused reports to the court, which will lead to a speedy, safe, and permanent placement for the child. This is why it is imperative for these volunteers to go through extensive training.

All Volunteers are screened closely for objectivity, competence, and commitment. You can become a CASA volunteer if:   You have never been convicted of a crime and can pass a criminal background check. You are not personally involved with DCP&P (the state child welfare agency). Your job (and your life) is flexible. You are at least 21 years old. You are willing to make a one-year commitment. You pass CASA’s screening process.

 

Commitment

Typically, a CASA volunteer will spend an average 10-20 hours per month working with their assigned case. Each case is different, so the amount of time required to get the job done varies significantly. We do require the volunteer to visit the child once every two weeks and be in court once every three months. CASA for Children of Bergen County asks that you make a one-year commitment. We prefer that a volunteer continues with their assigned case until it is permanently resolved which typically involves 18 months - two-year commitment. One of the primary benefits of the CASA program is that, unlike many caseworkers, most CASA volunteers remain a consistent figure during the course of case proceedings. This provides important continuity for children.   If you are interested, CASA is holding its next Virtual Information Session on Wednesday, June 16th at 11 am and 3pm.  Sign Up at: https://bergencasa.org/volunteer-inquiry-form/

Upcoming Virtual Fall Training: TBD
