CASA Volunteer:

CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are committed to doing what is best for an abused and neglected child. CASA Advocates do not need any special experience or knowledge, just the desire to help. All volunteers are trained to understand courtroom procedure, social services, the basics of the juvenile justice system, and the special needs of children who have been abused and neglected.

Responsibilities include:

• Completing training program
• Providing emotional support to children 
• Gathering information on the case by interviewing interested parties such as, teachers, family member neighbors etc.
• Writing reports and making recommendations on the best of the child

The goal of the CASA program is to provide children a voice in court.
