Everyone
can find a way to volunteer time to make a difference to a
child.
 Court Appointed Special Advocate
(CASA) volunteers are needed to work with children who are
dependents of the court as a result of having been abused,
neglected or abandoned. Volunteers,
who must be at least 21 years of age, undergo a thorough
background and screening process and complete approximately
forty hours of initial training. As a trained CASA
volunteer, you will meet and work with dedicated professionals
working to help children and families reunify. The
skills needed for this volunteer job include: communication,
problem solving and listening skills, combined with common
sense and long term (eighteen month minimum) commitment.
People
with bilingual and/or bicultural skills and experience are
particularly needed.
Contact Tyler Stanley for more information tyler@marinadvocates.org.
If
you are interested in pursuing this volunteer opportunity, fill
out our application and download
a detailed schedule.
If you have a special skill such as marketing, fund raising,
and event coordination, we would love to speak with you
about working on our special committees. This is a great
opportunity to volunteer your time without having to
make a huge commitment of time and to help us fulfill
our mission to help Marin County’s abused and neglected
children.
Helping at special events is a fun way to meet new people
and attend our fabulous fundraisers. You can work on
a committee to assist in planning and preparing for any
or all of our special events. Or if you’d like a more hands-on adventure – you
can play on golf, sell cotton candy, organize
outfits for models at a fashion luncheon, recruit sponsors,
walk a 4K, post our flyers at your office, sell raffle
tickets, bake Christmas cookies for kids, or sell popcorn.
The list is ever-changing and there is something for
everyone!
If you would like to serve on any of our committees or help
at a special event, please contact Mollie Squires at mollie@marinadvocates.org,
or call
at 415-507-9016.
