Abused, abandoned, and neglected children are
taken from their homes and placed into foster
care every day, more than 700 children in Ocean
County, NJ alone. There are not enough trained
volunteers to help make sure that the
educational, emotional, and medical needs of
these children are identified and met. You can
make a difference… one child at a time.
CASA volunteers are ordinary men and women of
all ages, from all walks of life, and of various
ethnic, vocational, and educational backgrounds.
As a volunteer, you will form a special
one-on-one relationship with your assigned
child. CASA volunteers interact with the child,
family members, social workers, healthcare
providers, teachers and other relevant
individuals to become a knowledgeable advocate
for the child’s needs. CASA will provide all of
the training you
will require to become a powerful voice for the
child’s best interest.
Qualifications of a CASA:
- Minimum age of 21
- Ability to communicate orally and in writing
to the Court, to the CASA supervisor and to
other appropriate individuals
- Ability to pass both background and State
Central Record Bureau checks
- Have three favorable references from sources
other than relatives
For more information and an application, please
call our office at (732)-797-0590 or e-mail the
Executive Director, Vicki Ackley at
