CASA's Definition of a Volunteer?
The heartbeat of our organization - everyday heroes for children in need.
One of the most unique things about CASA is that we use volunteers in nearly every aspect of the agency's work. Volunteers are literally at the heart of our organization - we could not do what we do without them. From a one-time volunteer experience, to the one year commitment of working a case as a volunteer advocate, there are so many ways for you to make a difference in the lives of the abused and neglected children we serve.
Volunteer Court Advocate
A trained community volunteer, appointed by a district judge, to represent children in court.
Board of Directors
A group of individuals who are responsible for the overall management of the organization, providing leadership and support.
Advisory Council
A group of individuals who serve on subcommittees of the board, helping in the areas of finance, fund raising, public awareness, personnel, and long range planning. These individuals have expressed an interest in helping CASA, but typically do not have time to serve on the Board of Directors or as court advocates.
Special Events Volunteer
CASA regularly utilizes community and university volunteers, youth groups, and others at special events throughout the year. Click here for a list of CASA events.
Volunteer Intern
The CASA office periodically hires student interns for a semester or summer session to assist with various administrative and other tasks. Interns must be enrolled in a local university and studying social work or another topic relevant to the mission of CASA of Denton County.
