Court Appointed Special Advocate

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and Guardian ad Litem (GAL) volunteers advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Help change a child’s story by becoming a CASA/GAL Volunteer! CASA/GAL volunteers are the voice for children in Juvenile Court who have been abused and neglected. These children are often living outside of their home with a relative or in foster care. Our volunteers visit with the children on their case monthly and gather information about how the children are doing. CASA/GAL volunteers make recommendations in court regarding what is in the children’s best interest and ensure their needs are being met.

Providing compassionate, individualized attention to help each child find a safe, permanent home is a CASA/GAL volunteer's sole purpose. CASA/GAL volunteers offer neutral recommendations for what is in the child's best interest. The result is that a child has a voice in court and is placed into a safe, loving home where they can thrive.
