Henrico County CASA program Seeks Volunteers

The Henrico Court Appointed Special Advocates program (CASA) is
seeking volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected
children in Henrico’s court system.

Henrico CASA will conduct a free, six-week training program for
volunteers from 6-9 p.m. each Monday and Wednesday beginning Monday,
April 13 at its office in the Hungary Spring Office Park, 3001 Hungary
Spring Road. Applicants will undergo interviews, background and
reference checks.

To apply or to obtain additional information, contact Dayle
Goldberg at 501-1675, e-mail gol@co.henrico.va.us or log on to
www.henricocasa.org by Friday, March 13.

CASA volunteers represent the best interests of a victimized
child in the court system. They come from a variety of educational and
professional backgrounds; legal experience is not required. Qualifying
participants will learn to conduct interviews, research and investigate
cases, provide written reports for judges and assist child welfare
professionals and case attorneys.
