As trained advocates, our volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for abused and neglected children in court. Because of their work, these children find a safe, permanent place to call home.
All it takes is a commitment to do what is best for a child.
The role of a CASA Volunteer
- Independently investigate a child's case
- Determine the child's needs and wishes
- Explore family and community resources to meet the child's needs
- Make recommendations to the court
- Advocate for the child
- Monitor the case
- Be the voice of the child's expressed wishes
A Life-Changing Service
Before receiving a case assignment, our volunteers undergo thorough training in courtroom procedure, social services, the juvenile justice system, and the special needs of abused and neglected children.
Establishing a relationship with the child is one of the most important things a CASA volunteer does. The ideal relationship is one that maximizes the CASA volunteer's ability to advocate successfully for the child.
