“To advocate for every child’s birthright to a safe, nurturing, healthy, permanent family; and to help each child in developing his or her full potential.”
CASA volunteers advocate for the needs of infants, toddlers, children and young adults who have been abused or neglected. Volunteers develop a relationship with their assigned child/youth, gather information about the case and make recommendations to the juvenile court. Thirty-six hours of initial training is provided.
All interested community members are encouraged to attend an Information Session to learn more about CASA. CASA has a particular need to increase the number of male volunteers and bi-lingual, bi-cultural volunteers. Volunteers work 10 - 15 hours per month.
