Volunteer

The She Ready Foundation wants YOU to volunteer. Sign up to be one of our volunteers with our program partners or directly with the foundation.

She Ready x CASA/LA

She Ready x CASA/LA volunteers will be trained and paired with a child in the foster care system to ensure they have the services and support needed in the areas important to all children, including a stable home, education, and healthcare.  There are more than 30,000 kids in the foster care system in Los Angeles and many need the support of a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer.  Being a CASA  is such a rewarding experience and you don’t need any fancy degrees or titles to make a positive impact in the life of a child. Join Us!

Eligibility Criteria:

 ¨ I am 21 years old (or I will be turning 21 years old before the conclusion of training)

¨ I agree to complete an extensive background check

¨ I agree to list my entire criminal history including: arrests, charges, and convictions, even if the charge was dismissed and/or expunged. (Not all criminal charges are an automatic bar from service; applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Talk to a recruitment coordinator for any questions.)

¨ I am not currently involved with DCFS as a parent/guardian

¨ I am not currently fostering a child/youth in Los Angeles County

¨ I agree to complete the required 40 hours of training 

¨ I understand that, while every case is unique, I am able to spend an average of 15-20 hours per month on my casework

¨ I am able to commit to serving at least 18 months as a volunteer
