Be the voice for a child in Morgan County.
Morgan County is small, rural, and often overlooked — which is exactly why its children need advocates who live there. CASA of the Eastern Panhandle has served Morgan County since 2020, and we need more neighbors from Berkeley Springs, Paw Paw, and Great Cacapon to step up.
Children in Morgan County are waiting.
Morgan County is our smallest county and has the fewest advocates — so a handful of new volunteers here makes an outsized difference.

Volunteering in Berkeley Springs, Paw Paw & Great Cacapon
Whether you’re in Berkeley Springs, Paw Paw, Great Cacapon, or out toward Hancock, you can serve a Morgan County child without leaving the county for most of the work. Child visits happen where the child lives or goes to school, and court is in Berkeley Springs.
What a Morgan County case looks like
You’re matched with a child or siblings. You visit them regularly, talk with their teachers, caregivers, and caseworker, and write a report the judge actually reads. Most advocates give 10–15 hours a month, and a CASA-EP supervisor is with you on every case.
Looking for other ways to help in Morgan County?
If advocacy isn’t the right fit right now, you can mentor a young person, support our Fostering Futures program for teens in care, or sponsor our work as a local business.
This is what advocacy looks like in Morgan County.
Volunteer Spotlight — Kim & Tyler Tummolo
A couple who advocate together. Proof you don’t have to do this alone.
I liked being the one that never gave up on her. Sometimes the threads that tether children to caring adults aren’t always there.
No law degree required. Just you.
Our Morgan County advocates are teachers, retirees, nurses, tradespeople, and parents. Here’s what we actually ask for:
- Be 21 years of age or older.
- Be committed to improving the lives of vulnerable children.
- Bring passion, positivity, and professionalism.
- Communicate effectively, both out loud and in writing.
- Be comfortable with word processing and database technology.
- Have time for 35 hours of training, then 10–15 hours per month of child engagement and advocacy.
- Bring a willingness to learn and an open mind toward life experiences different from your own.
