Amanda DePoy's Company Details
Every year, children are reported abused or neglected. Some of them must be removed from their homes because it isn't safe for them to remain. Many enter foster care and wait for the complex process in which a judge will determine where they may safely and permanently live. During this time, they may move from one temporary home to another.CASA volunteers are the voices for abused and neglected children in court. These community members are trained to gather information that helps judges decide the best possible outcome for these children. Volunteers undergo 40 hours of training, plus continuing education opportunities, in order to best serve the judge, who ultimately makes the decision about the fate of the child.
