What does a CASA Volunteer Do?
When a family is in crisis and becomes involved in the child welfare system, a Court Appointed Advocate (CASA) volunteer may be appointed by a judge to advocate for the child.
This highly trained volunteer is someone from the child’s community whose responsibility is to get to know the child and their family and advocate for their safety, permanency and well-being while in foster care. This is just one example of the difference a CASA volunteer can make in a child’s life.
