CASA seeks volunteers for training set to begin Jan. 17
A Child's Place Court-Appointed Special Advocates will be offering training soon to volunteers interested in representing the interests of children involved in abuse and neglect cases in Brooke, Hancock and Jefferson counties.
Advocates with the nonprofit program work to see that such children are in a safe place where the orders of court officials are followed and must swear to keep confidential the cases in which they are involved.
Since the local A Child's Place CASA was established in 2000, the program has assisted 1,406 children. It currently serves 155 in the three counties.
Those interested should e-mail childsplacecasa@comcast.net by Jan. 10 for training to begin Jan. 17.
