Our Impact in 2023
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers are community members who advocate for abused and neglected children living in foster care. CASA volunteers are independent voices who thoroughly investigate each child's unique circumstances and make recommendations to the court based on their best interests.

Advocate for Abused
and Neglected Youth
A CASA volunteer is a trained community member who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of a child in court. CASA volunteers are assigned to the case of an abused or neglected child who is in the child welfare system. The volunteer continues until the case is permanently resolved. One of the primary benefits of the CASA program is that unlike other court principals who often rotate cases, the CASA volunteer is a consistent figure in the proceedings and provides continuity for the child.
