Volunteers Sought To Advocate For Abused & Neglected Children
York County CASA is recruiting everyday people to advocate for local children. Information sessions will be held on Tuesday, August 1, 2017, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm and again from 6:00pm to 7:00pm in the third floor conference room of the York County Judicial Center, 45 North George Street in York City. Please note that no food/drink or electronics, including cell phones, may be brought into the building.
CASA Advocates, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, give a voice to abused and neglected children who need someone who will look out for their well-being. They serve as the eyes and ears of the Court, gathering information and making recommendations in the best interest of the children. Attend a CASA info. session to learn more about how you can help or contact us directly for more information!

Mission Statement
The mission of the York County CASA Program is to provide advocacy in court for abused and/or neglected children that will lead to placement in safe, permanent homes.
Description
The program recruits, screens, trains and supervises volunteers who are then appointed by the juvenile judge to help represent the best interests of abused and/or neglected children.After completion of screening and training the CASA Volunteer serves as the "eyes and ears of the court" by providing a more detailed account of each child's situation to aid the judge in permanency planning decisions. CASAs perform three basic goals: 1) Investigate all circumstances surrounding the child's case. 2) Report the findings and make recommendations to the court. 3) Monitor the case to ensure that necessary services are received and that court orders are followed.
