New CASA advocates sworn in

Pictured left to right: Don Christiano, John Menaugh, Melissa Darnell, Amanda Chadwick, Leslie Duncan and Judge William Follett. Submitted Photo
Six new volunteer advocates recently graduated from the CASA of Del Norte training class. These volunteers underwent 30 hours of specialized training to learn how to advocate on behalf of children in the Juvenile Dependency System (foster care). They now join the approximately 25 other volunteer advocates in serving this vulnerable group of children in our community, many of whom have been abused, neglected or abandoned. 

For many of these children, their Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) may be the only stable adult figure in their life. The CASA can also play a valuable role in the judicial process. 

“A CASA’s report can help the court understand what is going on in the child’s life, including their medical, educational, and emotional status, so we have a complete picture of the child’s needs when we are working on a case,” says Judge William Follett, who swore in the new advocates as officers of the court.

To learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer and helping children in our community, call CASA of Del Norte at 464-3320 ext. 208 or go to www.casadn.org .
