CASA of Rock County

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the intervention system that was created to protect them. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The ideal result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive as soon as possible. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
