CASA: New Advocates

On May 19, Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Timothy Schmal swore in 13 community members as Court Appointed Special Advocates for children in foster care. All 13 had completed CASA’s 35-hour training program. CASA of Santa Cruz County recruits, trains, and supervises volunteer Advocates

Jaheidi Reyes who are matched one on one with a child in the county’s dependency (foster care) court system advocating for them the entire time they have a case open with the court.

As officers of the court, CASA volunteers ensure that the children’s needs are recognized and their best interests are considered in the courtroom, school, and in the community.

There is a great need for bilingual and male volunteers, however, people from all cultures and professions and of all ethnic and educational backgrounds are encouraged to learn more. n

For information on how to become a CASA volunteer advocate, call Clarita Cortes at (831) 761-2956, ext. 102, or visit www.casaofsantacruz.org/volunteer
