Mission
To empower abuse and neglected children with a volunteer's voice in court by seeking a safe and permanent home for each child.
Description
CASA volunteers make sure that the abuse and neglect the children suffered at home does not continue at the hands of the system. Because they handle just one or two cases at a time, CASAs give each child the sustained, personal attention he or she deserves. Through contact with the child, family members, and other interested parties, the CASA volunteer provides critical information to the Judge which results in better and more informed decisions for the child. In advocating for these children, the program works to break the cycle of abuse and builds stronger, happier, and better-adjusted children, providing a benefit to the entire community.
