CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Volunteers are everyday people-just like you-who are trained to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. At Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy, we empower CASA Volunteers to be the consistent adult presence children, in the child welfare system, need and deserve.

The impact is real. Children with a CASA Volunteer:
