Mission Statement

The mission of CASA of Rock County is to have community volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children within the Juvenile Court system.

Description

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the intervention system that was created to protect them. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The ideal result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive as soon as possible. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.

This organization is an excellent example of community service, pride in your community and focusing on the future through our children. Wanda and Kristi are extraordinary people who do a great job of promoting a program that is there to help children in need. CASA gives children a voice when many have looked the other way. Whether you choose to volunteer and help children, bring awareness to a much needed program or raise money for this very special cause, you will not find a better charity to work with. I am proud to be a CASA volunteer and you would be too!
