Court Appointed Special Advocates of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties (CASA SHaW) has announced Information Sessions in January for individuals in our community who are interested in learning more about becoming a CASA volunteer advocate.
“Every month we hold three to four information sessions for members of our community and individuals who want to learn more about what it takes to become a CASA,” said Tracey Heisler, Executive Director of CASA SHaW. “It’s a great way to learn more about what we do and how people can help,” Heisler said. Attending an Information Session is required for anyone interested in applying to become a CASA.
Below are the dates, times and locations for the upcoming CASA SHaW information sessions scheduled for January:
- Tuesday, January 8 & Wednesday, January 23 – 5:30 p.m. at the PeopleCare Center in Bridgewater, NJ (120 Finderne Ave, Bridgewater, NJ)
- Wednesday, January 16 – 5:30 p.m. at the CASA SHaW office in Washington, NJ (150 Boulevard, Suite 1, Washington, NJ)
If any member of our community is interested in attending one of these information sessions, registration is required. Please contact our Volunteer Trainer, Karen Cassano, at karen@casashaw.org or by phone at 908-689-5515 if you plan to attend on either date.
CASA of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties is part of a statewide network of community-based, non-profit programs that recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to “Speak Up for a Child” removed from home due to abuse or neglect. CASA is the only program in New Jersey that uses trained volunteers to work one-on-one with children, ensuring that each one gets the services needed and achieves permanency in a safe, nurturing home.
