CASA Program is a private, non-profit organization committed to advocating for the best interests of children involved in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court process. The CASA program recruits, trains, and supervises competent volunteers dedicated to advocating for the needs of abused and neglected children in juvenile dependency proceedings. The program promotes safe, permanent homes for all children and seeks to educate the community concerning the needs of abused and neglected children.
CASA volunteers are members of the community who receive
extensive education and training in order to advocate for abused and neglected
children- who through no fault of their own - are thrust into juvenile and
domestic relations court and often, into foster care. CASA volunteers watch
over and advocate for these children to make sure they don't get lost in an
overburdened system. Their ultimate responsibility is to promote safe,
permanent homes as quickly as possible.
