Today more than 800 CASA programs are in operation. CASA volunteers work for the court. They serve as the eyes and ears, gathering relevant information about the child. CASA volunteers interview anyone who might be able to shed light on the case. They then appear in court to recommend to the judge what decision is in the child's best interest.
CASA volunteers come from all backgrounds.
Many work full-time. Some are students or retired people. Most CASA volunteers work on one case at a time. When you take on a case, you take on the child's future. We ask for a commitment of at least a year.
