"Speaking for ChildrenYouth"
Each year, approximately 780,000 children in the U.S. are caught in
the court and child welfare maze because they are unable to live safely
at home.
Approximately 13,965 children in the state of Oregon have been in
foster care at least once during the past year.
Currently, there are approximately 87 Grand Ronde children in foster
care. Half of those children are wards of the Tribal Court right here in
the Grand Ronde Community.
The Grand Ronde Tribal Court is looking for committed, caring volun
teers who want to help these children by advocating for the child. The
Tribal Court CASA Program will train all volunteer advocates. Give
these children a voice during this difficult time, help these children to
receive the services they need, stay connected to their culture and find
safe permanent homes.
If you would like more Information on how to volunteer and better serve our Tribal Children, please
detach and complete this form and return It to: Tribal Court Programs Specialist, 961S Grand
Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, Oregon 97347. For additional information, call 503-879-4623 or e-mail:
