| Ways to help | Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)CASA volunteers are specially trained individuals who are appointed by a Judge to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children. CASA volunteers provide the judge with carefully researched information on the child or children on their case so that the judge can make informed decisions about the child’s future. This information is gathered through at least monthly visits with the child or children on their case, and frequent contact with all other parties, including doctors, teachers, foster parents and many others.Big Friends Little FriendsBig Friends are from all different backgrounds, races, and religions, and like to have fun. They are committed to being a consistent role model; to their continued mentor training; to sharing, listening and visiting with their Little Friend and they are able to relate positively and in a meaningful manner to a growing boy or girl.Stand & DeliverStand & Deliver is a corporate based mentoring program that currently provides business professionals an opportunity to mentor during the work day. Locations include Pfizer, New Balance, Schneider Electric, Raytheon, and Charles River Labs. If you are interested in finding out how to partner with Family Services, please let us know.SamaritansThe Samaritans relies on volunteers who are willing to be trained to help people who call our crisis help lines. Most of our callers are not suicidal but are feeling overwhelmed with life stressors. People from all walks of life are trained to offer support and befriending for those who are lonely, depressed, suicidal or need someone to listen. |
