Volunteer Recruiter

Although I say I'm fairly new to CASA, they are not new to me. I began working here as Volunteer Recruiter just last year, but my wife and I were NJ state licensed resource parents for a decade and parented 10 children in that time. We had three young children when we started fostering and we adopted three more along the way. Our fostercare experience was made better by the fact that several of our children had a CASA Volunteer Advocate. "Miss Bonnie" (a retired educator) was always there for my children. That is how I knew of the meaningful work done for the community by CASA and why when it came time for a mid-life career change, I knew I wanted to make an impact by doing something meaningful and helpful in the community. I find working at CASA immensely rewarding.
