¿Hablas español? Bilingual volunteers needed for children in foster care
Child Focus | CASA of Passaic and Union Counties
Date: 15 hours ago
City: Elizabeth, NJ
Contract type: Full time
Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes.
That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child has an individual advocate to speak for them in court.
It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.

Did you know that close more than children and youth in Union County spent time in foster care last year? And almost fifty percent of them identify as Latinx.
These infants, toddlers, elementary age kids, and older youth all need compassionate, bilingual adults on their side to provide advocacy and caring during such a tumultuous time.
You can be that person for about 15 hours per month.
As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer, you will help to ensure their needs are met and their best interests are represented. From helping siblings find permanent homes together to uncovering information that helps reunite a loving family, volunteer advocates make an incredible difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.
Join us as an advocate and change a child's life.
No experience or formal education needed!
