How do CASA Child Advocates Make a Difference?
CASA stands for: Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASA volunteers are regular citizens like you, appointed by the courts, who have been trained to be child advocates for neglected and abused children in the foster care court system. They are trained to assure that the rights and needs of children are at the forefront of decisions that are being made by judges and lawyers and family members. For many neglected and abused children their CASA volunteer is the only reliable adult presence in their lives. And that single volunteer can often be enough to change a child’s story and make a positive impact for generations to come.
Join us until every child in need has a CASA volunteer to look out for their needs. The children are waiting for us. They are waiting for you!
