Ordinary People doing extraordinary work.

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.

Training and more information

In addition to background and fingerprint checks, all CASA Advocates are required to complete 12 in-service hours of training each year. Training opportunities are updated regularly on our web site here.
