CASA of Rock County trains community volunteers to become an advocate for children who, through no fault of their own, have been removed from their home because of abuse or neglect.
As a volunteer, you will develop a relationship with your child and make recommendations to the court on their behalf. You will be a consistent adult in their life who will help to ensure that they are safe, their needs are being met, and they are receiving the services they need.
Our next training session begins in January 24th, 2019 and will be held every Thursday evening (5:30pm-8:00pm) for eight weeks.

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.
