New Volunteer Advocate Training Begins
February brings the beginning of new class for Volunteer Advocates. CASA of Del Norte is happy to announce that 8 people are making the commitment to the children of Del Norte County by participating in our training. This could mean as many as 16-20 more children will have an Advocate to speak on their behalf. Children in foster care are there through no fault of their own. They may feel they are the reason they have had to move away from their parents maybe even separate from their siblings. This situation is the one the Volunteer Advocate enters. The Advocate can become the one consistent adult for the child in foster care. Learn more about training to become a Volunteer Advocate - call Susan - 707 - 464-3220 x 204
