NJ: Advocates needed for foster youth in Union County
NJ.com – November 10, 2016
CASA of Union County is seeking community volunteers to step up and be the voice for one of the nearly 600 Union County youth, ages 0-21, currently in foster care through no fault of their own – and the organization is now offering two new and more flexible ways to do that! CASAs are court-empowered to speak to foster parents, teachers, doctors, lawyers, therapists and more. They visit the youth regularly and incorporate findings into a report for the judge.
