    Kids Matter Inc has an ongoing need for a volunteer.
    Become an “everyday hero” for children. CASA volunteers are appointed by Children’s Court judges to be voices for children in foster care. CASA volunteers meet with the child and his/her family, caregivers, mentor, teachers, therapist, social workers, attorneys and others involved in the child’s life to monitor the child’s needs. CASA volunteers report their concerns to the judge, and advocate for the best interests of the child to ensure the child has a safe, nurturing permanent home. Visit http://kidsmatterinc.org for details.

    Our next training will begin in January 2019.

    Contact Nidhi Khare at nidhi.khare@kidsmatterinc.org or 414-344-1220.
