Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a non-profit that recruits, trains and supports volunteers within the community to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children.
CASA volunteers watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children. They make sure children do not get lost in the overburdened legal and social service systems, or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. A CASA volunteer stays with a case until it is closed, and the child to whom they are appointed is placed in a safe, permanent home.
