Become a CASA!

CASA volunteers are everyday people -business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and grandparents - who are committed to making a difference for abused and neglected children who might otherwise slip through the cracks in an overburdened foster care system. They are appointed by the judge to guide one child or sibling group through the system to safe, permanent and nurturing homes.

CASA volunteers research case records and speak to each person involved in a child’s life. They monitor the progress of the child and family throughout the case and advocate for the child’s needs in court in school, and in agency meetings. Their independent evaluations allow the court to make better informed decisions.

Because CASA volunteers serve on one case at a time, they truly get to know the child and can give each case the sustained, personal attention it deserves.
