Individual Volunteer Opportunity: Become an Advocate at CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are appointed by the judges in each county to advocate for the best interests of a child in foster care. CASAs meet with the child or children on a regular basis, consult with professionals, including the foster care workers, attorneys, and schools, as well as gather information from family members and foster placements. CASAs spend an average of 10-12 hours per month on their assigned case.

Volunteer at The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures

We house the toy and doll collection of Mary Harris Francis and the fine-scale miniatures of Barbara Marshall. Located in the Historic Tureman mansion, the museum was founded in the early 1980s and has been brought to national prominence in recent years. Our professional staff is looking to collaborate with volunteers to provide a delightful and informative experience to museum-goers.
