Would you like to help foster children but not ready to become a foster parent? Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers help ensure each youth experiencing foster care is safe, happy, and supported during their free time.

Over time, the volunteer often becomes the most consistent person in a child’s life. Each volunteer is match with one youth or sibling group during the 18-month commitment.
