Child Placement Review Board volunteers needed

The Hudson Vicinage is seeking volunteers to serve on its Child Placement Review (CPR) boards.

CPR board members monitor cases of children placed in foster care or residential placements by protective services to ensure that the placement serves the best interests of the child. Board members review case records and plans, interview interested parties, and make recommendations to the court.

Members are appointed by the court for a provisional term of one year and could be reappointed for additional three-year terms.

Prospective CPR members must undergo a screening process that includes an application, interview, fingerprinting and criminal background check.

For more information about these programs and the application process, contact Hudson Vicinage Volunteer Coordinator Jessica Mickley at Jessica.Mickley@njcourts.gov or 201-748-4400, ext. 60418.
