Vancouver – YWCA Clark County is seeking and recruiting volunteers for its summer volunteer training cycle that begins July 5.
“Opportunities include providing advocacy and support to survivors of sexual assault, representing the best interests of abused and neglected children in the court system, and supporting the safety and healing of families experiencing domestic violence,” the nonprofit said in a news release.
YWCA would particularly like to increase volunteers with the Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, program that advocates for foster care children in the court system. “Children in foster care who have a volunteer CASA assigned, frequently experience shorter time in care, while also experiencing better outcomes. Quite often during this time, CASA volunteers serve as the only constant adult presence in these children’s lives,” YWCA said.
Those interesting in starting the July 5 volunteer training can apply online at ywcaclarkcounty.org/volunteer. For more information contact Lisa at 360-906-9131 or info@ywcaclarkcounty.org.
