Right now, 90 children in foster care in Central Oregon are waiting for a CASA volunteer to be by their side. You can help us change that.

Our summer CASA volunteer training begins July 15 in Redmond, and we need more community members to step up as advocates for children in foster care. We know that word of mouth is our most effective tool in recruiting new volunteers, and we would be so grateful for your help.

How you can help:
Tell your friends, family, and colleagues about CASA and the growing need.
Share our social media posts and events.
Invite someone you know to consider becoming a CASA volunteer and join our upcoming training next week.
Invite CASA to speak at your community group, workplace, or event to share how others can get involved.

Every share and conversation makes a difference in helping a child in foster care find stability, support, and hope for their future.

Thank you for helping us find the next group of CASA volunteers who will stand up for children in our community. More volunteer info can be found here.
