Warren County CASA

Description

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court to ensure their best interests are considered. The focus of a CASA is to ensure every child has a safe, permanent home where they can thrive. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
