National CASA supports close to 700 programs across the United States, sometimes known by other names, such as Volunteer Guardian Ad Litem and Voices for Children. For more information on qualifications, selection, and volunteer training, contact the CASA program nearest you. The Center offers one internship position to undergraduates for one summer or one semester of the school year. The internship is unpaid. However students gain a wealth of knowledge about the problem of child abuse while conducting research and working on a special project throughout their internship.
Interns are also responsible for reorganizing files and general office work.
The interns are able to work on both domestic and international cases as well as issues in the exploited child unit. There are also internship positions available for first and second year law students or attorneys who would like to volunteer their time with the Center. NCYL also promotes laws and public policies to improve the conditions in which poor children must live. The Center offers full-time summer internships to students who have completed at least one year of law school. Law clerks work closely with the Center's staff attorneys as they research novel issues of youth law, write legal memoranda, assist with ongoing litigation, and respond to requests for assistance.
