Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers are patient, open-minded people from all walks of life who have good communication skills, a history of following through on commitments, and a willingness to accept guidance. Above all, CASA volunteers care about children and their futures!
What Does a CASA Volunteer Do?
A CASA volunteer advocates for a child who has experienced abuse and/or neglect and is under court protection. A CASA volunteer:
​
-
Is supported by a dedicated CASA staff member.
-
Spends regular, quality time getting to know the child.
-
Writes a monthly objective court report on the child's safety and well-being to help the judge make important decisions about the child's future.
-
Is a consistent adult presence in the child's life.
-
Spends on average 4 to 6 hours a month in their role.
“I became a CASA volunteer thinking I would change the life of a child or two, and I know that I have. What I never expected was how much they would change mine.”  - a CASA Volunteer
