Fifteen new CASA volunteers were sworn via videoconference by Judge Sullivan. Family Court Presiding Judge Bryce Duckworth and Juvenile Hearing Master Adriana Rincon-White also conferenced in, along with the Nevada State Director of CASA, Jane Saint.

These new CASA volunteers were the first group to complete 30 hours of virtual training. This virtual flex training, which was newly created by National CASA/Guardian ad Litem Association, includes 15 hours of independent online activities and 15 hours of virtually facilitated classroom material.

These CASA volunteers are now assigned to advocate for the best interest of 40 children in foster care.

There is a big need for CASA volunteers in Clark County, to speak up for the approximately 3,200 children in the community, who are receiving services under supervision of Family Court. Those who want to help abused and neglected children can get more information at 702-455-4306, visit www.casalasvegas.org or Facebook at www.facebook.com/#!/CASALasVegas.
