Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are volunteers
trained to be advocates for children who have been abused
and neglected and are under the protection of the
court. They are appointed by the judge to meet regularly
with the child, review records, and talk to family members
and professionals involved in the child's case. They report
information to the judge, make recommendations to promote
the child's best interests, and monitor compliance with the
court's orders until the child has been placed in a safe,
permanent home.
But there are more children in need than we have the
volunteer or financial capacity to handle. We need more
resources, but your help can make an important difference.
The number of children in CPS care continues to increase
and CASA needs your help. We need people in the community
to become advocates for these children.
