Boston CASA Seeks Volunteers to Advocate for Foster Youth in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties
Virtual information session to take place on January 27 for those interested in joining the spring training cohort
Virtual information session to take place on January 27 for those interested in joining the spring training cohort
When:
Where: Zoom
Boston CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is issuing an urgent call for volunteers to advocate on behalf of children in the foster care system. Currently, only 15% of eligible foster youth in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties have access to a CASA — a trained, court-appointed volunteer who provides consistent, one-on-one support and helps shape critical legal and life decisions.
“Imagine facing judges, rotating caseworkers, and endless transitions as a child, without one adult focused solely on what's best for you," said Nicole Stewart, Executive Director of Boston CASA and a former foster youth. "That's what foster youth experience. A CASA changes that equation. We're looking for volunteers prepared to show up consistently, advocate fiercely, and be the person a child can count on."
With virtual information sessions beginning January 27, Boston CASA encourages compassionate adults across the region to attend an upcoming session to learn how they can make a life-changing difference for a child.
What CASAs Do
Unlike mentors or service providers, CASAs are appointed by a judge to focus solely on the best interests of a child in foster care. Each CASA is matched with one child or sibling group and builds a consistent, trusted relationship by meeting with them regularly and staying involved for the duration of the case.
CASAs collaborate with teachers, doctors, foster parents, attorneys, and caseworkers to ensure the child’s needs are met, advocating for essential services, educational support, healthcare access, and permanent housing. They often become the one consistent adult in a child’s life, helping navigate a complex and ever-changing system.
CASAs are asked to commit at least 18 months to the role. Initial training requires 30 hours, with 12 hours of ongoing education each year. Once assigned to a case, volunteers typically dedicate 10 to 15 hours per month to their CASA work.
Why It Matters
The need is urgent:
According to a national study, 92% of judges say CASAs improve outcomes for children, and 83% say CASAs help ensure children receive essential services. But when a youth has a CASA, they are more likely to succeed in school, access vital services, and secure a stable, permanent home.
Eligibility Requirements
Children in foster care come from all backgrounds, and Boston CASA is committed to building a volunteer community that reflects that diversity. While all are welcome to apply, we’re especially seeking volunteers who speak additional languages, identify as people of color, are men, or are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Your lived experience can make a powerful difference in a child’s life.
Upcoming Info Sessions
Attending an information session is required to apply for the organization’s next volunteer training cycle, which begins in the spring. These sessions will give you an overview of the organization and our work, the application and interview process, as well as more details about the training required to become a CASA.
Sessions will be held virtually on Zoom:

Why It Matters
The need is urgent:
- Only 50% of foster youth graduate from high school
- Fewer than 4% earn a four-year college degree
- Nearly half experience homelessness by age 26

Eligibility Requirements
- Have a deep desire to make a difference in a child’s life
- Be 21 years or older
- Commit to at least 18 months of service
- Ability to meet with youth 1-2 times a month at their home or in community
- Approach difficult situations with compassion and diplomacy
- Keep personal beliefs separate from their advocacy role

"Threenagers" Live Webinar February 12
When:
Where: Webinar
Ellie Springer, M.Ed., will present a live webinar through First Connections in Acton about "Threenagers." Around age 2 1/2-3, children's behavior becomes newly challenging and parents may wonder, "Who is this child?" Three year olds begin to fiercely assert their independence, while at other times cling to adults and want help with tasks they have been able to do on their own for months. They can have BIG emotions that change all the time, shifting from gleeful to devastated to furious within minutes. If you have a child in this stage, or about to enter it, join us to learn what is typical at this stage, how to support your child through it, and how to make life a little smoother for your family. To receive the Zoom link for this program being held on Thursday, February 12, 7-8:00 p.m., email Linda at lmatthews@jri.org. This is a free program funded by the Mass.

A Compelling Live Performer, Antje Duvekot to Visit PCA’s Coffeehouse 2/13
When:
Where: 10 Lincoln Street, Westford
A compelling live performer, internationally recognized Antje Duvekot will be visiting the Parish Center for the Arts (10 Lincoln Street) on February 13 at 7:30pm as part of the PCA’s Coffeehouse Series, sponsored by Rockland Trust. So pack up your favorite snacks and beverages for this evening of songs that are “stunning paintings of color and shade and always generate the heat and light that real art should.” (Neil Dorfsman, producer of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen & Sting). Tickets range from $20-$25. Cabaret seating. For information about this and all upcoming concerts at the PCA, call (978) 692-6333 or visit pcawestford.org.
Originally born in Germany and transplanted to the U.S. as a young teen, Antje Duvekot began to hone her observational skills through a lens of biculturalism when she picked up a guitar during that move. Some years later, the confessional folk of Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco gave her license to share her observations, no matter how personal. Since her first emerging original songs, she has never let go of that tenet of vulnerability. Antje’s five studio albums, including her latest, “New Wild West” were produced by Mark Erelli, Seamus Egan of SOLAS, Richard Shindell and Scott Petito, respectively, and feature support from Anais Mitchell, John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky, Sean Mullins, Liz Longley, Mark Erelli, and Kris Delmhorst, among others.
Antje has extensive touring experience. She has been invited to play top festivals, such as the Newport Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, Philadelphia, and Kerrville Festivals and others. Internationally, she's headlined the Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark. Antje has won some of the top songwriting awards, including the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and the "Best New Folk Award" at Kerrville. In one of the nation's top music markets, she won the Boston Music Award for "Outstanding Folk Act". She has appeared on various NPR programs. In 2007, The Bank of America featured Antje's song "Merry Go Round" in a national TV advertising campaign seen by millions, including a Super Bowl audience. In 2010, Antje played the TEDMED conference in San Diego (before the unveiling of Ozzie Osbourne's genome!).
