Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Volunteer
Make a lifelong difference in a child’s life.
As a CASA volunteer, you will be appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of a child who has experienced abuse or neglect. You’ll get to know the child and everyone involved in their life-parents, foster families, teachers, social workers-and provide critical insights and recommendations to the court to help ensure the child is placed in a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.
What You'll Do:
Spend time with the child to build trust and understanding.
Gather information from adults in the child’s life.
Attend court hearings and write reports to advocate for the child’s best interests.
Be a consistent, caring presence throughout the case.
What You’ll Gain:
Extensive training and ongoing support from staff and fellow advocates.
Leadership and communication skills.
The deep satisfaction of changing a child’s story.
Commitment:
10-15 hours per month for at least 1 year.
No legal background required-just a heart to help.

Mission Statement
The mission of CASA is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courts. We promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.
Description
Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
