CASA NH LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS, TRAINING STARTS MARCH 21
It’s easy to believe child abuse doesn’t happen in your community. Due to the strict confidentiality of these cases, it often goes unseen but child abuse doesn’t discriminate. It crosses socio-economic lines. It happens in the largest of cities and the smallest of towns. In 2014, CASA advocated on behalf of 1,067 children in New Hampshire’s Family Courts. We need to increase our volunteer pool so that abused / neglected children and youth in our area know that strong, positive adult role models exist and can be of various ages, backgrounds and genders. We are searching for more qualified candidates for our next training that will begin in Gorham on March 21, 2015.  To best protect the vulnerable population we serve, we have to carefully screen potential volunteers with a thorough application, reference checks, criminal / background checks and a somewhat intensive interview. If you want to put your experiences and skills to use in an essential and meaningful way, there is still time to apply for the upcoming training.  VIisit https://www.casanh.org/onlineapplication to apply online. For more information, contact Jen Buteau, jen@casanh.org
