Volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are everyday people who are trained and then appointed by judges to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. The CASA volunteer spends time with social workers, foster parents, family, and most importantly - the child. The advocate provides the court a unique and heartfelt understanding of the child's needs and remains with the child until they are placed in a safe, permanent and nurturing home.
