CASA of the South Plains has one remaining Volunteer Advocacy Training

Session open for registration in 2023! In honor of CASA’s 30th Anniversary, and with this last

session quickly approaching, CASA urgently needs 30 people to sign up for the final training

session of 2023. CASA continually strives to provide every single child in foster care with the

gift of a CASA Volunteer and can’t do it without support from the community.

The need for new Volunteer Advocates in our community continues to grow. In the six counties

CASA now serves, there are approximately 1000 children in foster care who desperately need

the gift of a CASA Volunteer. It’s not too late to help.

CASA encourages everyone interested in volunteering with CASA to first attend a CASA 101

Informational Session. Info sessions give community members the opportunity to learn all about

what it looks like to advocate for children in foster care. Join CASA Saturday, 23 at 10 a.m., to

learn more about how vital a CASA Volunteer is for a child in foster care. CASA’s final, and

most sought after Volunteer Advocate Training Session will run from October 25 to November

3, so community members are encouraged to register for an upcoming CASA 101 as soon as

possible.

A CASA, or a Court Appointed Special Advocate, helps vulnerable children in foster care

navigate the child welfare system while working to ensure the child’s needs are being met and

advocating for a safe, permanent home. A CASA 101 Informational Session is a great, noobligation

introduction to CASA and the important work they do. CASA staff and volunteers

will discuss the increasing need for volunteers, what it means to be a CASA, and the difference

CASA Volunteers make in the lives of children in foster care. Individuals can register for these

CASA 101 Informational Sessions at www.casaofthesouthplains.org or contact Tabitha Rendon,

Director of Community Outreach, at tabithar@casaofthesouthplains.org.
