AUGUSTA Interested in advocating for the best interests of a Maine child? The Maine Court Appointed Special Advocates program is holding online training for volunteer advocates Aug. 24-27. This four-day training is free and is designed to prepare attendees for certification as volunteer guardians ad litem in the Maine district courts.
Maine CASAs are community volunteers who are appointed to serve as guardians ad litem for children who are involved in child protection cases. The foundation of the CASA’s work is learning about the case and then advising the court what the CASA believes is in the child’s best interests.
