CASA of Harford County recruits and trains community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in Court. CASA volunteers gather facts about a child's family background through an independent, comprehensive investigation; make recommendations based on those facts in a Court report and present them to the judge or master; on request, give oral testimony in Juvenile Court; ensure that Court-ordered services and case planning are provided in a timely, effective way; provide emotional support to a child during stressful Court proceedings and beyond.
