A Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, is a trained volunteer that is appointed by a judge to speak up for the best interests of a child in family court and other settings.
As a CASA volunteer, you will make a real difference for abused and neglected children by giving them a voice and providing a stable influence in their lives. You will serve as the eyes and ears of the court to promote the safety and well-being of children in the protective services system.
Special training and supervision will be provided before you are assigned a case, as well as a thorough background check.
