They are the child's voice in the legal proceedings. They use the information gleaned to make recommendations that aid the court in its final decision about the child's fate. After training, actual time commitment averages 10-15 hours per month. Volunteers are screened for their objectivity, communications skills, ability to work with a diverse group of people, and willingness to make the time commitment. No special experience or legal background is required.
CAJA volunteers come from all religions, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds.
There is a particular need for men and people from a variety of backgrounds and ethnic groups. Because of the sensitive nature of our mission, we ask that sites containing adult material not link to our site. All Rights Reserved.
