Provide specially trained volunteer child advocates for abused and neglected children who need safe and permanent homes. |
What We Do:
Our volunteers contact caseworkers, interview parents and other family members, ensure children receive necessary medical care, look out for educational interests and make recommendations in court regarding the permanent placement of the child.
Most importantly, they serve as a "constant" person for that child to count on during a very tumultuous time. Essentially, our volunteers do whatever it takes to ensure that the needs of the child are being met while that child is in care.

My personal narrative
I feel so blessed to be able to give myself as an advocate. This program is so wonderful. As advocates we take our time with these children and we fight for their voice. I know that I am making a difference with these children. They are absolutely amazing! Through the experience that I have had working with CASA I have actually decided to change my career path! These children have inspired me to move more toward a career in advocacy.
