About
We are looking for people that want to make a difference in a child's life...if this is you, please consider becoming a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer!
CASA volunteers are appointed to children who are in our local foster care system through the Juvenile Court. They gather information about their situation through contacting the child's school, doctors, case managers, foster parents, family members, and more. But most importantly, they build a meaningful relationship with the child to find out what are the child's wishes and what is in the best interest.
The gathered information is presented to the Judge along with the CASA volunteer's recommendations. This assist the Judge in the decisions that are made for the child's permanency, well-being, and safety.
If you can see yourself making a connection with a child in care and advocating for their needs, please do not hesitate to call or email us today!
