One of CASA's strengths is that it is a community based solution to a problem.  Though it is a challenging commitment, no particular background is required.  Washoe County CASA has volunteers who are teachers, stockbrokers, casino employees and stay-at-hone moms.  Nationally only 25% of the children who need a voice in court have one.  Here in Washoe County over 500 children are being helped by CASA each year but more could be served with additional volunteers.  Someone like you can make a difference!
