Description

Training, empowering and inspiring volunteer advocates to improve the lives of abused and neglected children.

CASA volunteers maintain contact with the children for the duration of time they are involved in the juvenile justice system. Volunteers work with all case professionals involved in the children's case, including attorneys, therapists, foster parents, school officials, and biological parents. CASA volunteers become deeply rooted into the child's life to better understand the wants and needs of the child and to establish and report the best recommendations to give to the court, so a more informed decision can be made.
