Court-Appointed Special Advocates

Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained volunteers who represent the best interests of children in foster care or involved in the judicial system due to abuse or neglect. They work alongside social workers, attorneys, and the courts, providing objective insights and recommendations. Their goal is to ensure that children find safe, loving, and permanent homes. CASA volunteers meet with the child, family members, and professionals, gathering information to advocate effectively during court hearings. Their involvement helps ensure that children's voices are heard in legal proceedings, fostering better outcomes for vulnerable youth.
