ORGANIZATION: CASA of Tarrant County

Each year, thousands of children in Tarrant County are confirmed victims of child abuse and neglect. These children have experienced terrible trauma, and their lives are turned upside down. Child Protective Services takes legal responsibility for them, and may place them in a foster home or other facility. Due to too few foster homes, siblings are often split up into different places. Children are rarely able to stay in their own schools, day cares, or communities. Everything they have known is gone. Through no fault of their own, these abused children have become a part of an overburdened child welfare system. They deserve a voice in the courtroom. They need a CASA volunteer!

CASA volunteers are everyday people who support children and families in crisis and increase the well-being of children in foster care. CASA volunteers ensure the voices of the most vulnerable children in our community are heard and honored.
