Mission Statement
CASA of Midwest PA works to help provide children who have experienced abuse or neglect with a safe, supportive, and permanent home by empowering competent, responsible, and compassionate community volunteers to advocate for their best interests in court.
Description
Who are Court Appointed Special Advocates?
A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a trained citizen (21 years or older) who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interest of a child in court. The children that CASA volunteers advocate for are before the court as a results of abuse or neglect as defined by the state of child welfare laws, living at home or in out-of-home care. CASA best interest advocacy is driven by the guiding principles that children grow and develop best with their family of origin if that can safely be achieved. CASA of Midwest PA is a private nonprofit organization who calls-to-action concerned community members to volunteer as advocates for abused and neglected children involved within the child welfare system. Our advocates work alongside system professionals to ensure that children end up in safe, supportive and permanent homes, where they can thrive and grow.
