Join Voices for CASA Children at our upcoming spring information session in Central Phoenix to learn more about becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). The CASA role is a volunteer position that advocates on behalf of an abused and neglected child in the foster care system.
Children with a CASA volunteer are more likely to receive services, spend less time in the child welfare system and are less likely to return to foster care. An advocate can make an immediate and critical impact on a child’s life. You can’t change a child’s past, but you can change a child’s future.
At this information session, you'll be able to get all your questions answered by program staff and meet current Maricopa County CASA volunteers. Complimentary parking will be available. You can RSVP here - http://bit.ly/2nZFbJS

a specially trained citizen-volunteer that advocates for the best interest of abused and neglected children in the courtroom and within the community.
They are appointed by the juvenile court judge and work alongside case managers, providers and the foster care system.
Advocates are empowered by the court and make critical recommendations to the judge.
The CASA will remain with the child until they are placed in a safe, permanent and loving home.
