COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES CASA-NYC:
Volunteer to help a child in foster care
For more than 28 years, NYC Family Court Judges have been assigning the most difficult cases to CASA. CASA's trained and supervised volunteers - more than 100 strong - represent the child's best interests in court. CASA volunteers conduct thorough research on the background of the case, reviewing documents and interviewing all parties involved. They report to the court, raising issues of concern that may interfere with a child's best interests and providing information that will help the judge make an informed decision. CASA volunteers can also play a pivotal role in assuring that a child or family is receiving services the court has ordered, such as physical or mental health services, substance abuse counseling or special education. During the life of a case, the CASA volunteer monitors the child's situation to assure he or she remains safe. The volunteer may be the only constant in the child's life as he or she moves through the bureaucratic maze of the child welfare system.

STREET PROJECT:
Providing busy New Yorkers with volunteer opportunities

Street Project provides a variety of flexible opportunities for busy young professionals to volunteer in New York City, all while connecting them to a larger network of other dedicated people who are also looking to give back.

Through our range of monthly projects - from working with at-risk youth to cleaning up parks to serving meals to the less fortunate - Street Project members are able to choose to volunteer for projects that speak most to them, based on their interests and schedules.

Street Project members come from a variety of professions - finance, PR, consulting, architecture, education, technology, law, music, etc. - but they all share a commitment to helping out in their city and an interest in connecting with people who feel the same way. Ranging from people just out of college to people in their 30's, Street Project members are proving that this isn't an apathetic generation.

Beyond the regular volunteer events, Street Project also throws regular social events - happy hours, beer pong tournaments, parties, etc. - to bring members together outside of volunteering. We believe that volunteering should be fun, as well as a fun way to meet other people.
