CASA volunteers work with attorneys and social workers. They review records, research information and talk to everyone involved - parents, teachers, family members and the child. From this information, they present a recommendation to the judge as to what is best for this child. CASA programs can help a displaced child find the security he or she needs to grow and reach full potential. CASA involvement often reduces the number of times a child is moved from foster home to foster home.
CASA cases are more likely to be reviewed on a regular bases by the court.
A child with a CASA volunteer is more likely to receive treatment through community services. CASA programs save tax dollars. See Philanthropies . The National CASA Association is looking to fill one or two paid internship positions in 1999 and is hoping to contact local Washington State Theta actives as possible candidates.
