What is a CASA?
A court appointed special advocate (CASA) volunteer is someone who supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children so they can thrive in safe, permanent homes.
What CASA's Do
• A CASA talks to social workers, lawyers, parents, teachers, and whoever else might be involved in a foster care case to learn as much as he or she can.
• A CASA listens to the children involved and finds out what they need and want.
• A CASA attends meetings to help plan for their future.
• A CASA tells the judge what is happening and offers a recommendation. This helps the judge decide the best thing to do.
• A CASA stays by the children every step of the way.
