VISTA Leader for Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Jersey

The VISTA Leader provides support to Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Jersey in two key areas:

  1. Collaborate with the Project Supervisor in the overall management of the VISTA Project with particular emphasis on the success of the VISTA Project by means of recruiting and retaining VISTA Members; facilitating knowledge transfer among VISTA members, providing guidance and technical assistance to VISTA Members, and resolving conflicts which might arise between the VISTA Member and site supervisors and
  2. collaborating with statewide fundraising efforts, on an as needed basis, which will include: grant writing, providing assistance and expertise to the CASA of NJ VISTA Development Assistant in matters pertaining to the donor database and other fundraising objectives, and providing as needed fund development assistance to the statewide network of VISTAs.

CASA of NJ is part of a national and statewide network of volunteers who advocate in family court for abused and neglected children in foster care. For more information, visit www.casaofnj.org or contact Peter Cerra (peter {at} casaofnj(.)org).

As always, we are such fans of Campus Compact (both national and state chapters). Without your assistance, we could not have achieved many of the milestones we have enjoyed over the past two years. Among many other developments, these milestones include hiring a full-time Service-Learning Coordinator; forming a University-wide advisory committee that includes representatives from each school and from the community; and creating a course development series for faculty and their community partners."
