CASA of the South Plains Hosts Informational Session

CASA of the South Plains is hosting an Informational Session Thursday, February 28th to discuss the need for CASA volunteers, and how community members can make a difference in the lives of children in foster care.

The CASA 101 session will be from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the First United Bank Operations Center at 5808 4th Street in Lubbock.

A CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, can help a child in foster care navigate the child welfare system while working to ensure their needs are met and to help find a safe, permanent home. CASA needs the community's support to meet the goal of 20 new volunteers for its next training class.

CASA 101 attendees interested in becoming a volunteer can begin the application and sign-up process, but space is limited and training classes fill up quickly.

To attend, register at casaofthesouthplains.org or contact Kristen Mata, Recruitment Director, at 806-763-2272 or via email at kristenm@casaofthesouthplains.org.
