If volunteering, helping children in need, or becoming more involved in the community is on your “to do” list then becoming a CASA volunteer is a great option for you to explore. The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Jefferson and Gilpin counties program is in strong need for dedicated community members to become a voice for a child in court.
CASA needs help and support to continue to work toward making sure every child in the community is in a safe and permanent home. CASA volunteers are caring adults who get to know children in the dependency and neglect system and provide the courts with objective information and recommendations to help ensure the children’s best interests are served. Previous experience is not necessary, just compassion for children and the desire make a difference in the community.
For more information about the next training class in June, call 303-271-6535 or visit the website at www.casajeffcogilpin.com. The next CASA 101 Informational session is on Thursday, May 12, from 6 – 7 p.m. The session is held at the Jefferson County Courthouse at 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden 80401 in Courtroom 1A. Please come and see if this volunteer opportunity is right for you!
