A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a volunteer appointed by the Court to advocate for the best interests of a child who has been abused or neglected. To do this the CASA must research the facts of the case, create a case plan, facilitate collaboration between all parties on the case and the resolution of presenting problems, recommend a course of action to the Court, and monitor progress toward established goals.
Volunteers are also needed across the state for Board of Directors positions, media/public relations, fund raising and other opportunities.

Description
The West Virginia CASA Association is a small non-profit organization whose mission is to support and develop CASA programming throughout the state of West Virginia. Currently, there are eleven local member CASA programs serving 27 of our state’s 55 counties; those programs utilize trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court.
