CASA volunteer training kickoff

CASA of the Bluegrass will hold a volunteer training kickoff at 6 p.m. on Oct. 22, at the CASA office, 473, W. Walnut St., Danville.

CASA (court-appointed special advocate) volunteers represent the best interests of neglected and abused children in family court cases. Volunteers spend time with    children who may have been abused or neglected, as well as family members, educators and others involved in the children’s lives. They file reports with the judge about what they learn.

Volunteers are assigned one case at a time. They are asked to serve for at least one year in order to maintain continuity for children in the system.

Contact Jessica R. Johnson at (859) 936-3510 or by email at jessica@casaofthebluegrass.org to reserve a training spot.
