Every day many children, through no fault of their own, lose the security of a safe nurturing home. To protect them from further abuse, abandonment, family violence, or protracted custody disputes, we as a community entrust the court with the responsibility of determining their future. Often, as the judges, lawyers, social workers, probation officers, and parents weigh and argue conflicting needs and claims, children become victims once again - lost in the system. Our Mission To advocate for children in the court system so they are assured safe, permanent homes where they have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Most of the children are the victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment.
CASA volunteers are men and women who want to help their community's children.
They work for the judge, alongside attorneys and social workers, as appointed officers of the court. When a CASA volunteer is appointed to a child's case, he or she is responsible for taking the time to find out as much as possible about that child. CASA volunteers search for information. These volunteers submit reports and appear in court to recommend to the judge what is best for a child's future. Visit our Home Page for upcoming events.
