General Information
A CASA volunteer researches a child’s case and presents the facts to the judge from the perspective of a neutral third party. A CASA volunteer then makes recommendations to the court on what is in the best interest of the child. CASA volunteers advocate for anything that is in a child’s best interest from counseling to visitation with siblings or other relatives, adoption, or even clothes. Children deserve to be in a safe and permanent home as quickly as possible and CASA volunteers work to ensure that children are moved out of the system as quickly as possible.
