For those wishing to become court appointed special advocates, there will be a meeting from 12-1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8 in Auburn.

The meeting will be held at the law office of Jason A. Rosenfeld, which is located at 815 East Main Street. In King County there are two CASA programs in need of volunteers in the Kent area.

Family Law CASA volunteers investigate and report on the best interests of a child.

The Dependency CASA Program serves children up to 11 years old who have allegedly been abused and/or neglected. The CASA talks with the child, parents, family members, social worker, school personnel, health care providers, foster parents and others who know about the child’s situation.

The CASA also reviews records pertinent to the case.

The amount of time required depends on many factors, such as the complexity of the case and the experience of the CASA.
