CASA volunteers are adults in our community who help abused and neglected children by advocating on their behalf in the courts and in life. After an in-depth training, volunteers are matched by their CASA supervisor with children in the dependency and neglect system. They meet with the child or children on their case weekly, meet with adults who might be in the child's life such as biological parents, foster parents, social workers, teachers, etc. and then they write a report to the judge with details about the child's situation including recommendations for securing a permanent, safe home for the child. Each case length is variable - they may last up to 18 months depending on the child or children's situation.
