Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)

Who We Are

CASA volunteers meet at least monthly with the child(ren) they are assigned and learn all they can about their life, their needs and their family. They collaborate with educators, counselors, therapists, social workers, attorneys, etc. to assure the child(ren)'s needs are being met and are in their best interest. The CASA volunteer then submits a report to the court detailing the information gathered.

What We Do

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program recruits, trains and supports community volunteers who advocate for and promote the best interests of children who are involved in the juvenile court system due to abuse or neglect by their caregivers.
