Upper Valley Graduates new Class of CASA/GAL Volunteers
CASA OF NH NEWS — (Apr 25, 2010) —
CASA is proud to welcome our newest graduating class of volunteers!
Ready to serve New Hampshire’s most fragile victims, six Upper Valley residents recently finished their 40 hours of pre-service training and will soon be taking cases in Lebanon, Claremont and Newport Family Courts.
“I know this class of volunteers will make a substantial impact on the lives of New Hampshire’s children,” said Todd Bookman, CASA staff member and trainer. “This is a very motivated and passionate team.”
The Upper Valley continues to have a great need for CASA volunteers, as we are only able to accept roughly 80% of the cases that come through the court system. As trained guardians ad litem, CASA volunteers can help end the cycle of abuse and neglect by being a strong voice in court for a child.
