A Court Appointed Special Advocate is a trained community volunteer. They are independent advocates appointed by the juvenile judges in the four county area of Northwest Arkansas to be the voice of abused and neglected children and speak in the children's best interest. CASA volunteers reduce the length of time children spend in foster care, reduce the number of changes in placement, and increase the number of children who return home. CASA volunteers are simply ordinary people that do extraordinary work for children. Our CASA volunteers come from all walks of life, with a variety of educational and ethnic backgrounds.
