CASA is in desperate need of volunteers! 6-10 hours a month is all you need to change a child’s story. Children ages birth to 18 who are victims of child abuse and neglect are waiting for your voice. You don’t need any specific education or work experience to become a CASA, just a heart for youth and a desire to make a difference. Questions or want to sign up? Contact Jayme at jaymem@sunflowerchildrensco.org
