There is an ongoing need for qualified, caring CASA volunteers as children continue to be placed in the foster care system through no fault of their own.
Fall
Wednesday mornings, 9:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., in Bend (1010 NW 14th St., Bend) beginning September 19 through November 28 (no class November 21) I’m interested in becoming a CASA volunteer. What do I do next?

"My CASA encouraged me to dream big and to never give up on my dreams. I don't know where I would have ended up without her help. She reminded me that my voice had value and should be heard." --Erin, age 16
