I am a CASA for Roanoke City and County and have handled two cases since completing training in spring, 2010. I was able to do this while working a full-time job and managing a family. There are lots of kids in situations with parents who are not equipped to take care of them and really need someone in their corner. A CASA gets to know everyone in the child's life to be able to make a recommendation in the court as to what's in that child's best interests. It's really rewarding to be able to help a child in need through a complex and confusing process.
