What is CASA?

A Court Appointed Special Advocate, also known as a CASA, is a trained citizen, age 21 or older, who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in court.

CASA volunteers come from all walks of life, with a variety of educational and ethnic backgrounds. A CASA volunteer is an essential presence that reminds everyone involved that at the heart of each case is a child who deserves a safe and loving place to call home.
