CASA Seeks Volunteers

CASA Seeks Volunteers for the Supervised Exchange and Parenting Time Program

Want to make a difference in a child’s life, but are worried about how to find the time? The Supervised Exchange and Parenting Time program (SEPT), with its flexible schedule, may be ideal for you!

Volunteers for the SEPT program protect children from witnessing parental disputes and experiencing emotional trauma. They oversee court-ordered parenting time (supervised visits) and facilitate exchanges of the children from one parent to another, keeping the children safe from conflict.

The SEPT program is administered by Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of the Pikes Peak Region. CASA serves as “a child’s voice in court” for children who are victims of abuse, neglect or domestic conflict and promotes community awareness of these issues to ensure safe and permanent homes.

Training begins February 2, 2008. Deadline for registration is January 11. For additional information, visit www.casappr.org or call 447-9898, ext.1020.
