Andre Bosse Center Charity Profile
Over the past year, the Andre’ Bosse Centers have adjusted our mission to better reflect our true purpose which is to be a resource to the Department of Human Services (formerly FIA), Law Enforcement Agencies, the Courts, the Prosecutor’s Office and the community at large. Because only together can we hope to prevent, treat and eliminate child abuse in our communities.
Andre Bosse Center Volunteer Information
Direct Services Volunteers
CASA Volunteer- Court Appointed Special Advocates serve as a special advocate for an abused/neglected child or siblings while in Foster Care and under the Court’s jurisdiction. The Advocate provides a consistent voice for the child during the Court involvement. The Andre’ Bosse Centers currently runs the CASA program in Oceana & Newaygo Counties.
Supervised Visitation Monitor- The Andre’ Bosse Centers in Mason & Oceana Counties provide children a safe, non-judgmental location to visit with parents who are ordered by the courts to have supervised visitation. A volunteer is needed to observe and document the visit. Notes from the visits are sent to the referring agency.
Victim Advocate- Volunteers are trained and supervised by a staff Child & Family Advocate to support an assigned child victim and their non-offending family members throughout the investigation, prosecution and toward healing.
