It’s a Privilege to Serve as a CASA Volunteer

To The Editor:

For the last 10 years it has been my privilege to act as a voice for abused and neglected children in our state’s court system. As a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer it is my responsibility to meet, at least monthly, with every child that I am assigned, to speak with their relevant service providers, teachers, caregivers etc. and to report to the court what is in the best interest of each child. In all honesty, it is not the easiest volunteer job in the world. However, the rewards when you see a child who now finds himself in a safe and stable home is an incredible, soul satisfying event.

As a CASA volunteer you will be provided both initial and ongoing training, have access to an experienced and knowledgeable staff and get to work with some of the most dedicated professionals in the world including family court judges, state DCYF workers and family law attorneys just to name a few.

I sincerely hope that you will consider joining our ranks and making a difference in the lives of our abused and neglected children. Please go online to www.casanh.org or call (603) 626-4600 to learn more or to fill out an online application.

I look forward to working with you.
