Organization Information
Mission Statement
The mission of the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) of Washington County Indiana, Inc. is to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children within the court system. Based on the belief that children are entitled to a permanent, safe, secure and enriching home environment, CASA works in the court system through screened, trained and supervised volunteers in collaboration with key agencies, legal counsel, and community resources to serve as the child's advocate.
Description
CASA of Washington County Indiana was created in 1987 out of the need for abused and neglected children in our community to have a voice during legal proceedings. The heart of our organization are our Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers. These highly-trained, caring adults are appointed by judges to advocate for a child's best interest. Volunteers work with legal professionals, social workers, teachers, and service providers to ensure that judges have the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child. CASA Volunteers stay with a case until the child has been placed in a safe, permanent home.
