The GAL/CASA Volunteer is an advocate for children who find themselves involved in the court system often through no fault of their own. The children with whom you will work are victims of child abuse and/or neglect, and many of them are in foster care. They need a "voice in the court" in order to find a safe, permanent home in a timely manner - whether that means returning to a parent or being adopted. The GAL/CASA volunteer will provide that voice, sharing with the court both the child’s wishes and your recommendations about what is in that child’s best interest.
