The mission of CASA of Chambers County is to ensure every abused, neglected, and abandoned child in Chambers County has a competent, caring volunteer appointed by the court to speak for the child's best interest. Some of our children are in foster care and others are with relatives. Our volunteers received 30 hours of training before starting their important work. They spend time with the child each month, getting to know them and becoming a trusted positive adult influence. They also interact with others in the child's life so they are able to make recommendations to the court about services the child or their family may need in order for the child to be in a place they can thrive and grow for the rest of their life.

Mission Statement
The mission of CASA of Chambers County is to ensure every abused, neglected, and abandoned child in Chambers County has a competent, caring volunteer appointed to advocate in court for the child's best interest.
Description
When a child enters the child welfare system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or a CASA volunteer, to speak up for the best interests of the child in family court and other settings.
As a CASA volunteer, you will make a real difference for abused and neglected children by giving them a voice and providing a stable influence in their lives. You will serve as the eyes and ears of the court to promote the safety and well-being of children in the protective services system. To ensure you understand your role, special training and supervision will be provided before you are assigned a case.
