Be a Court Appointed Special Advocate

One child. Endless possibilities.

Imagine waking up in a strange bed and being surrounded by strangers all day, not knowing whether you will ever live with your family again. This is how children in foster care feel; they wonder whether they will ever again live in a safe and familiar home.

If you care about the future of our children and can volunteer 3 to 5 hours a week, Court Appointed Special Advocates of Santa Cruz County needs your help. CASA seeks volunteers to provide support, guidance and a powerful voice in court for children who have been removed from their homes because they were victims of abuse or neglect.

To learn more about becoming a volunteer advocate attend an informational orientation:

  • North County Orientations are held 5:30–7 p.m. the first Tuesday of the month.
  • South County Orientations are held 5:30-7p.m. the third Wednesday of the month at the CASA House.

For location details and to RSVP contact Danielle at 831.761.2956 Ext. 102 or Danielle@casaofsantacruz.org

Join CASA in helping Santa Cruz County children stay safe, healthy, and connected to our community. Together, we can do it.

Cathy, when I was hired at the Federal agency I work at, I had to sign an agreement regarding notRead More violating the Hatch act and not being involved in any political matter. In my position it could be construed that my agency supports one political idea or agenda. (I am in a high level position). I have always honored and respected the Hatch Act and will continue to do so. I did write a letter to the editor of the local paper a few years back on a hot topic and heard from my regional manager about it and also had my front window bashed in at my home, so I continue to post as sweetcakes. I also watched the complete city council meeting on TV and was disgusted by how the city manager and council interact with the public and ideas presented. It doesn't appear that city management and council members actually seek and use public input and ideas when making decisions. The only member on the council that thinks about the topic at hand and asks intelligent questions is Dr. Bilicich. I guess this is why the majority never wanted her as mayor. Dodge is using his position on the council to push his agenda. Measure T goes against what LAFCO (Dodge is chairman of LAFCO) stands for. He shouldn't even be on the LAFCO commission because of his involvement on Measure T. The goal of LAFCO is to guide urban development away from prime agricultural lands and open space resources; to promote orderly growth; and to discourage urban sprawl. I guess he was appointed at Alejo's command to push the agenda of paving over our valuable farmland. Vote NO on T

Cathy, what I meant by separate issue (and you may or may not agree....no prob; I'm just saying howRead More I see it:) ) is that the flier I was handed yesterday doesn't say anything on it about Measure T.

I used my yes on T flier to line the birdcage. It pissed my parrot off so much, he bit me!

We got one too sweetcakes (some caring person actually tucked it into my door handle so it wouldn'tRead More blow away) even though I have a "No on T" sign in my yard. The "Yes on T" is all lies anyway so it went right into my recycle bin. Perhaps it was just coincidence but they came while we were at the City Council meeting last night. Go figure.
