Terre Haute: Consider volunteering time as a CASA

Consider volunteering time to advocate for an abused or neglected child as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteer. Volunteers meet with the child or children and other persons involved in the child’s life, and write reports to the court that focus on the best interest of the child.

Vigo County CASA serves hundreds of abused and neglected children per year, and often there is a list of children waiting for their special volunteer to be assigned.

If there is enough interest, a training class will be planned for November.

Contact the Vigo County CASA office for more information at (812) 231-5658.
