Court Appointed Special Advocates

Become a CASA Volunteer

Volunteers spend time with children, monitor needed services, and provide child-focused recommendations to the court based on the best interest of the children they serve. The CASA advocate offers support, guidance, and friendship in a consistent, caring and non-judgmental relationship. New volunteers are given comprehensive training to prepare them for the types of issues and situations that might arise during their work with their assigned child. We are always looking for more volunteers so that we can serve a greater number of deserving children. Volunteering as a CASA offers the chance to make a tremendous difference in these children's lives.
