Volunteer with CASA
Everyday people doing extraordinary things in the lives of Hill Country childrenHill Country CASA is a non-profit organization which provides trained, court appointed volunteer Guardians Ad Litem (GAL)
These Guardians serve children who are victims of abuse and neglect in Bandera, Gillespie, Kendall and Kerr Counties. These volunteers work with the courts to advocate for the overall well-being of these children.
Our Volunteers & Work
CASA volunteers are everyday people – teachers, business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and grandparents – who are committed to making a difference for children who might otherwise slip through the cracks in an overburdened foster care system. They are appointed by judges to guide one child or one set of siblings through the system to safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
CASA volunteers research case records and speak to each person involved in a child’s life, including family members, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and social workers. They monitor the progress of the child and family throughout the case and advocate for the child’s current and future needs in court in school, and in agency meetings. Their independent evaluations allow the court to make better informed decisions.
Because CASAs serve on one case at a time, they truly get to know the child and can give each case the sustained, personal attention it deserves.
We invite you to join our family of volunteers and make a difference in a child’s life – and your own.
