What does having a CASA volunteer mean to an abused child?
There were 13,387 reported incidents of child abuse and neglect in the state of Oregon in 2004. An increase of 14% from 2003. Wasco and Sherman counties rate 4th in the state for child abuse. Hood River is 13th.
Imagine what it would be like to lose your parents, not because of something you did, but because they can’t - or won’t - take care of you and protect you from harm. Now, into your life come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, social workers, judges, lawyers, and more.
Having a CASA volunteer means having by your side a trained and committed adult who has been appointed by a judge to watch over and advocate for your best interests. That volunteer will make sure you don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They will be there for you until your case is closed. We invite you to learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer. We hope you decide to join our family of volunteers, everyday people, who are committed to improving children’s lives. Please feel free to call us at in Hood River at (541) 386-3468 or The Dalles at (541)296-2045
