Urgent Need for CASA Volunteers in Riverside County Ahead of National Volunteer Month

There is an urgent call for volunteers in Riverside County to help support children in the foster care system.

Voices for Children is asking community members to step up and become Court Appointed Special Advocates, also known as CASA volunteers, ahead of National Volunteer Month in April.

The organization says the need is especially high for male volunteers and those who are bilingual in English and Spanish.

CASA volunteers work one-on-one with children in foster care, advocating for their needs in court, at school, and in everyday life. Organizers say these volunteers often become the most consistent and reliable adult presence in a child’s life during a difficult time.

The role can make a lasting difference, helping ensure children receive the support, stability, and resources they need.

Those interested in volunteering can learn more by visiting Voices for Children’s website.
