CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, seeks volunteers to advocate for the best interest of children who have come into the state’s care as a result of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Volunteers are empowered to represent a child’s voice in court after extensive training that prepares them for the role. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, join a one-hour information session. Schedules and registration links are available at casaclarkcounty.org.
The Clark County and city of Vancouver councils are looking for two volunteers to join a collaborative policy group addressing the issue of homelessness in the community known as the Joint Executive Group.
The recruitment is for individuals who have experienced homelessness. Terms would be approximately 12 months, with the exact term to be decided at a later date. The group will make homelessness policy recommendations to the county and city councils. Regular meetings will be held at least once per quarter, with additional meetings as needed.
Those interested should send a résumé and letter of interest to Michell Pfenning, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000, or michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov. Application deadline is 5 p.m. Aug. 13.
