Volunteer: Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)

CASA is looking for volunteers able to commit to at least one year of service as Court Appointed Special Advocates. The 30 hour training and 3 hours of court observation prepare future CASAs for their role as advocates for children in abuse and neglect cases in the Knox County Juvenile Court. 


 

 

CASA volunteers are everyday citizens that judges appoint to advocate for the safety and well-being of children who have been removed from their homes due to parental abuse and neglect. They stand up for these children and change their lives. CASA volunteers listen first. Then they act. Volunteers get to know the child and talk with everyone in that child’s life—parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them. Being a CASA volunteer does not require any special education or background, just a heart for children and a willingness to speak out and represent their best interests.

You must be 21 or over, pass background checks, participate in a 33-hour pre-service training course and agree to stay with a case until it is closed (a year and a half on average).

Volunteers must attend all training sessions.

Volunteer: We need you! Deliver a hot meal to homebound seniors with Meals on Wheels

Remember not so long ago when everyone, except for essential workers, were stuck at home? What if that never ended for you. What if you were not able to get out of the home or to even cook your own meal? What if you had little to no family around and there you are unable to get out with others.

You can make a difference in people's lives. You can take an hour out of your day to make a world of difference to someone homebound. Countless times we hear from recipients how they would not have a meal if it was not for volunteers bringing a meal to their door. Sometimes, the visit is also a welfare check; making sure that person is okay. You may brighten a person's whole day just by chatting with them for a few minutes. 

Won't you take a couple of hours out of your day to make a lifetime of difference to someone in need?

Volunteer: Monroe County Animal Shelter is overcrowded

Monroe County Animal Shelter is currently experiencing a large influx of strays resulting

in an overcrowding situation that is causing them to consider what it means to make space, including euthanasia.

 MCFA has worked diligently for years to help save lives by getting animals new homes as quickly

as possible. This has been accomplished by lowering intake numbers through our free voucher SNAP

program, foster care, and education for the public.

 

Please spread the word to your friends about adoptions and volunteering to become a foster parent.

Fostering is ideal for animal lovers who are:

Seniors and others not wanting the lifelong commitment that comes with pet adoption Families—fostering is a great way to teach kids about responsible pet ownership. Anyone who is looking for a way to truly make a difference in an animal’s life

Volunteer: Monroe County Animal Shelter Help

Volunteer - MCFA (monroecountyfriendsofanimals.org)

 

At the Animal Shelter

The animal shelter in Madisonville has a minimum staff.  The animals need more care and attention than the staff can provide.  Some of the  tasks at the shelter are dog walking, cat enrichment, socializing, cleaning, doing laundry, greeters and front desk work.  Volunteering just a few hours a week is a huge help.

Transporting Animals

In an effort to find homes for as many animals as possible, dogs and cats are  transported to rescue destinations, most often out of state, where they are quickly adopted.  Drivers, who can also load and unload the animals, are needed for these transports.

Foster an Animal

Foster homes provide temporary homes for animals in need. 

Adoption Events

Three or four times a year there is an adoption event  (e.g. at a Petsmart store).  Volunteers are needed to tend to the animals throughout the day.  Usually this is  for 3 hours on a Saturday.
