“To the world you might be just one person, but to one person you might be the world.”
A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a trained volunteer appointed by the court to represent the best interest of abused and neglected children. CASAs advocate for the child’s entire well-being by getting to know the child and interviewing all parties involved in the child’s life. The CASA writes a report with guidance from a CASA staff supervisor, participates in court hearings, and makes recommendations to the judge. At all times, the CASA advocates for the child’s best interests.
There are three (3) scheduled training sessions in 2020: April, August, November.
