Our Volunteers & Their Work
CASA volunteers are everyday people, including teachers, business professionals, retirees, stay-at-home parents, and grandparents, who are committed to making a difference in the lives of children who might otherwise slip through the cracks of an overburdened foster care system. Appointed by judges, they advocate for one child or one set of siblings at a time, helping them navigate the child welfare system and move toward safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
Volunteer Advocates gather information by reviewing case records and speaking with the people involved in a child's life, including family members, teachers, doctors, attorneys, and social workers. They monitor the child's progress throughout the case and advocate for the child's needs in court, at school, and during agency meetings. Their independent assessments help judges make informed decisions that are in the child's best interests.
Because CASA volunteers focus on a single case at a time, they are able to build meaningful relationships with the children they serve and provide the consistent, personalized attention each child deserves.
