Court Appointed Special Advocates of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties (CASA Jeffco/Gilpin) is steadily growing; however, there continues to be a strong need for dedicated community members to become a voice for abused or neglected children in court.
With over 200 committed and compassionate CASA volunteers, CASA Jeffco/Gilpin is only able to provide support to less than 30% of the cases in court for abused or neglected children. CASA Jeffco/Gilpin needs your help and support to ensure that every child in our community has a safe, permanent home. You can make a difference in the life of a child by becoming a CASA volunteer. CASA volunteers are caring adults who are appointed by a judge; they provide the courts with objective information and recommendations to help ensure that a child abuse victim's best interests are served.

Previous experience is not necessary, just compassion for children and the desire make a difference in our community. The training course includes approximately 40 hours training. All in-person sessions will be held at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401.

For more information please contact Tiffany Schlag at (303) 271-6537 or at tiffanyschlag@casajeffcogilpin.com.

As a wish-granter you will embark on a wonderful journey helping make a child’s wish come true. One of the areas our volunteers enjoy most is using their imagination to help enhance the wish to make it absolutely as magical as possible. Your main priority is to create an unforgettable wish experience for a child with a life-threatening medical condition.

While our in office Wish Coordinators will schedule flights, get passports, and take care of wish logistics – the wish grantor is there to give the wish family that special attention they deserve, to make the child feel like royalty, and to put the cherry on top of this once in a lifetime event. Supersize and Personalize!

Wish Grantors work in teams of two. If you have a friend or family that you would like to volunteer with please apply at the same time. If you do not have a partner, don't worry, we can pair you up with another Make-A-Wish volunteer!
