In harmony with our mission of foster-youth advocacy and support, Serviceheart has developed Serviceheart HM, a job-training program for youth age 19-24 who are exiting the foster care system. Serviceheart HM is an online vocational training course in Household Management designed to create a concrete employment pathway for eligible youth as they make their transition to adulthood, careers and self-sufficiency.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We welcome people from all walks of life. We are simply looking for people who care about children and have common sense. As a volunteer, you will be thoroughly trained and well supported by professional staff to help you through each case.
Being a CASA volunteer does not require any special education or background, simply the desire to help abused and neglected children find safe, permanent homes.
What does it take to become a CASA volunteer?
Step 1: Each candidate must be at least 21 years old, pass a background check and participate in a 40-hour training course.
Step 2: After completing the training, the volunteer is assigned his first case. A volunteer’s average time commitment to a case is approximately 4-8 hours per month.
Step 3: Maintain monthly visit with your child(ren) and give written reports prior to court hearings.
Volunteer advocates have support and supervision every step of the way and always have resources available.
