Volunteer: CASA of Baltimore

Thousands of children in Baltimore City are not safe living with their families. We can’t control where these children come from but we can have a positive impact on where they end up! It takes all of us, everyday people, to stand up and commit to making a meaningful difference in the lives of abused and neglected children. It starts, very simply, with one volunteer at a time.
