Become a CASA Volunteer
A CASA Volunteer has one purpose: to be the voice of the children and youth they serve by advocating for their needs and wants. While other professionals within the system serve multiple families, a CASA Volunteer serves one child, youth or sibling group. This focus allows them to understand even the smallest details of the case and the complex network of relationships connected to the children and youth.
Most of all, this intense focus ensures that placement, school and other services, like therapy, are appropriate and in the best interest of the children and youth. CASA Volunteers receive specialized training to serve as an advocate for a child’s best interests in family court and other aspects of their life. The role can differ from case to case, but through an intentional and culturally responsive lens, a CASA becomes a reliable adult they can count on.
Research has shown that children and youth with a CASA Volunteer receive more services, re-enter the system fewer times, and are more likely to graduate high school than those without this advocacy. You can make a difference by signing up to become a CASA Volunteer today.
