CASA of NH works year round to provide quality services to the children victims of abuse and / or neglect. We recruit, screen, train, then support and supervise our citizen volunteer advocates. Our volunteers are trained as Guardian ad Litem, get to know the child and then present and represent their best interest in the court system. Our agency saves the state millions of dollars each year since this service is at no cost to the courts.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are still not aware of this or that child abuse and / or neglect is a problem throughout the State of New Hampshire. Often our volunteers will say that they wished they had heard of us years ago so they could have started making a difference as a volunteer earlier. Community volunteers find this work meaningful and feel the training is comprehensive and the continued support is extremely valuable.
