    Description

    Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)

    CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Volunteers are everyday citizens who are specially trained to advocate for the best interests of child victims of abuse and neglect involved in the court system.

    Appointed by the Court, CASA Volunteers serve as the child’s voice in legal and social service settings-ensuring they don’t get lost in an overwhelmed system or remain in unsafe or unstable living situations.

    Through weekly contact with the child and ongoing communication with caregivers, caseworkers, and other adults in the child’s life, CASA Volunteers:

    • Assess the child’s needs,
    • Identify appropriate resources and services, and
    • Submit written reports and recommendations to the court based on their findings.

    CASAs provide more than just advocacy-they are a consistent, reliable presence for children during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Every child deserves a safe, caring adult in their life.
