Please join us at an upcoming Volunteer Info Session
CASA of South Mississippi speaks up for children who’ve been abused or neglected by empowering our community to volunteer as advocates for them in the court system. The Youth Court Judge appoints a trained CASA volunteer to make independent and informed recommendations in the child’s best interest. CASA volunteers come from every walk of life and share a commitment to improving children’s lives.
Volunteer Info Sessions are a great opportunity to meet with a staff member, learn more about what it means to become a CASA volunteer, and ask questions about volunteering.
