Become a friend of CASA at an informational open house on Oct. 28.

CASA El Dorado is always in need of volunteers who may not have time to become an advocate for a child, a board member or CLC member but have a heart for CASA and could provide help with additional needs. The Friends of CASA program of El Dorado County serves that purpose. Consider the following opportunities:

Fundraising: Assist staff and/or board of directors with fund-raising activities, including raffles, auctions, identifying fund sources, grant research, etc.

Special Events: Participate in the planning and coordination of special events, such as volunteer recognition events, receptions, galas, golf tournaments.

Public Relations/Recruitment: Prepare PR material prior to special events, periodically distribute PR material to local organizations (e.g. libraries, clubs, churches, etc.), update media contact list.

Professional Services: Provide pro-bono or discounted services (printing, accounting, etc.). Businesses that donate goods and/or services receive acknowledgment on the website.

Create Your Own Project: El Dorado County CASA will gladly consider projects and ideas other than those previously listed.

The open house is from 5-7pm. Drinks and appetizers will be provided.
