INTERNSHIP WITH CASA OF MARION COUNTY


CASA of Marion County is proud to partner with local community colleges, colleges, and universities to offer unpaid internships in our office. Internships are eligible for college credit hours, pursuant to your institution's requirements.

About Us:

CASA of Marion County recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers from the community to advocate for children in foster care. Our Court Appointed Special Advocates are all sworn into the Marion County Juvenile Court and are then assigned and serve as an advocate for kids in care. CASA Volunteers are a caring and consistent adult presence for abused and neglected children. For many abused and neglected children facing multiple challenges, a CASA volunteer may be the one constant adult presence in their lives. Advocates stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home.
