The Heart and Soul of Voices for Children
Volunteers are our lifeblood. There are many more children in the foster care system than we have volunteers to help them. You'll find that being a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a gratifying experience that touches not only the life of a child, but yours as well. Volunteer with children now.

2. Complete the volunteer application, including the one-page personal biography, and send it in by the next information session or bring it with you. (The application is in PDF format). You may also download a MS Word version of the application if you would like to fill it out by computer and email it to info@voices4children.com

children like her
were often
brutalized,
sometimes very
early on in their
lives. I think about
how that child is
growing up in an
entirely different
set of

than what she
knew - happier
circumstances,
healthier
circumstances -
and I find peace
knowing I made
a difference. -
