Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)
"There is a need to elevate the awareness in the community to the plight of abused or neglected children, to encourage more citizens of the county to volunteer as CASAs and to support, train and guide new CASAs as they enter the program. The goal is that every child that enters the juvenile dependency system as the result of abuse or neglect have a trained CASA to advocate for the child’s best interest." -The Honorable Martin E Stone, Coos County Circuit Court Judge
Volunteers needed to fill a very special role in helping neglected or abused children in the court system. Feel great knowing that you are helping to improve the life of a child in your community!
