JOHN DAY – Grant County CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, are in need of some community volunteers. Program Manager Savannah Lovell was on Coffee Time today, and said they have a strong need for people to advocate for children in foster care:
“I believe we currently have five active advocates…that only covers about half of the cases that CASA has right now.”
Lovell said once the free training is complete, it’s about a two-to-ten-hour commitment out of the volunteer’s week. Listen to the full podcast with Program Manager Lovell and Circuit Court Judge Rob Raschio below:
