Marianne Burdison
mburdison@gmail.com
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of CASA is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in our court system. We promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Who makes a good CASA volunteer?: Our dedicated volunteers come from all walks of life, education levels and ethnic backgrounds. Many work full-time, but some also work parttime, stay at home or are retired. Commitment to children, objectivity, open-mindedness, tenacity, and great communication skills are several of the key characteristics of great court appointed special advocate volunteers.
Volunteers must be:
• at least 21 years old
• a high school graduate
• undergo a background check
• have regular access to the internet
• have a valid drivers license
• willing to commit to the duration of the case (roughly 6-24 months)
What kind of training do CASA volunteers receive? Offered several times each year,
our interactive training program provides 30 hours of instructor-based training to empower and prepare individuals to become effective advocates. In addition, our CASA volunteers are provided guidance and support throughout the court process.
What is the time commitment required? On average, a CASA volunteers spends about 8-10 hours a month on their case. This includes home visits, phone calls, team meetings, court hearings, emails and report writing. CASA of Howard County asks volunteers to commit to their CASA child for the duration of their case. Are CASA volunteers really important to the court and child welfare process? YES! Judges depend on CASA volunteers to help them be better informed about each child’s case. Typically, a CASA volunteer only has one family assigned to them so they are able to provide guidance and support throughout the court process.
UPCOMING FUNDRAISERS/EVENTS
TBD
2026 GOALS, NEEDS OR WISHES
Our primary goal in 2026 is to have sufficient volunteers so that no child has to be on a waiting list for a CASA. We hope to do this, in part, through collaboration with local employers who are willing to allow their employees a certain number of hours as paid time off to support non-profits in their community.
