CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for children’s best interests. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is in a safe, permanent environment. Volunteers work with children, their biological and foster families, welfare professionals, educators and service providers to ensure that judges have all the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child.
CASA volunteers are ordinary citizens with extraordinary hearts!
