Engaging the community is an integral part of protecting children and
strengthening family life. Our volunteers play an important role in
CAS's services and provide a vital link between the CAS and the
communities we serve.
Approximately 150 volunteers are partnered with staff, foster
caregivers, families, children and youth. They represent diverse
cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. They fill many roles within our organization to help support our Vision and Mission.
We value and thank our volunteers every day, and extend extra thanks during National Volunteer Week in April. Click here to read our Volunteer Spotlight.
