ALASKA CASA PARTNERING WITH NATIVE COMMUNITY TO RECRUIT
VOLUNTEERS
I n a unique partnership, the Alaska CASA program is
working closely with the Native community to
recruit more Native CASA volunteers. Kay Wallis, Alaska
CASA Diversity Specialist, is coordinating the
initiative in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the
Mat-Su Valley.
Alaska Native children comprise some 60% of the children
in state custody, and more Native volunteers are needed
to advocate for them. This
initiative
seeks to meet that need through targeted recruitment
and improvements to training and mentoring in order to
attract and retain Native volunteers.
For more information email
Kay Wallis or call her at
269-3522.

Mission Statement
 The

recruit, train, supervise and support quality volunteers who reflect
the diversity of Alaska’s population. CASA volunteers speak
for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the
courts, and advocate for each child to have a safe permanent home.
