The CASA volunteer will meet with others involved in the child's case, including caseworkers, school personnel, therapists, foster parents, etc. to create and implement a plan that is in the best interest of permanency for the child. The CASA volunteers also present the child's wishes and best interest in the juvenile court setting.
