Court Appointed Volunteer Advocates for Berks County Children
CASA of Berks County trains screened community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children across Berks County, including Reading and surrounding communities. The volunteers are appointed by a judge, and they gather child focused information to help judges make decisions that support safety and permanency.
A CASA volunteer meets with the child, talks with the people involved in the child's life, and reviews relevant information to understand what is going on. The volunteer then shares clear, child focused recommendations with the court to support safe and timely decisions. CASA volunteers do not replace attorneys or caseworkers; they provide a consistent, independent perspective centered on the child. The organization's work is rooted in the Berks County courts and community partnerships, and it is part of the national CASA network.
A child is matched with an advocate through the court, so this is not something a family signs up for on its own. Child welfare professionals can contact the staff to learn how CASA advocacy fits within court processes and referral pathways. A community member trying to support a child or family can contact the team to discuss the situation and appropriate options; staff will explain what CASA can and cannot do and where to direct urgent needs.
The office is at 845 North Park Road, STE 307, Wyomissing, Pennsylvania 19610. For general questions, call 610-301-8634 or email laura@casaberks.org. You can also fill out the contact form at casaberks.org/contact with your name, phone number, and a brief description of your question; a staff member will respond within 1 to 2 business days. The page does not list office hours.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer instead, CASA of Berks County holds information sessions and provides screening, a 30 hour pre-service training, and ongoing support. Most volunteers are adults 21 and older, and no legal or social work background is required. Many volunteers spend around 10 to 15 hours per month, depending on the stage of a case.
