Maryland CASA Association needs you! They are looking for individuals to serve in their MD CASA-AmeriCorps program to assist in their efforts to ensure that every abused and neglected child in the state has a safe and permanent home. Through the MD CASA-AmeriCorps program, you will be able to expand their community outreach, increase their public awareness efforts and help expand their existing programs to serve more children in need.

Maryland CASA Association (MDCASAA) is the state organization for Maryland ’s fifteen Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) programs, which recruit and train volunteers to serve as advocates for children who are under the court’s protection due to abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers serve as the eyes and ears of the court, gathering information from the child and those involved in the child’s life, and making recommendations to the court based on the child’s best interest.
