The Court Appointed Special Advocate program of Coos County invites people interested in becoming CASA volunteers, and learning how to represent the needs of vulnerable children, to enroll in a new evening training class beginning in September in September.

CASA provides trained volunteers who advocate for children who are victims of abuse and neglect. Currently, CASA volunteers can serve less than half of the children in need of advocacy and role models in Coos County. 

Community Action and CASA are offering volunteer training during evening hours for the first time.

To enroll in the volunteer training class, call CASA Trainer Bridgette Bagoy at 396-1074, to begin the enrollment and screening process. For more information on CASA of Coos County, call 396-1074 or visit http://www.orcca.us.

As a program of Oregon Coast Community Action, CASA is supported through the Coos County Commission on Children and Families.
