Learn how to become an Advocate for abused and neglected children in Burlington County. Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children of Mercer and Burlington Counties is currently recruiting volunteers for Summer and Fall training sessions to advocate for the best interests of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. CASA and its volunteers speak for children in court, serve as fact finders for the family court judges and safeguard the interests of the children while they are in the foster care system.

The grand opening, by Migrant Worker Outreach, has coincided with its clothing drive. 

"We have two rooms, one for the volunteer center and one for the Migrant Worker Outreach Clothing Drive,” said Dory Dickson, a retired teacher and director of the Medford Volunteer Center. "At first, the clothing drive will fill up most of both rooms. We won't have much space for volunteer center activities until the blueberry harvest finishes and we have distributed the donated clothing.”
