About CASA

The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) concept is based on the belief that every child has the right to a safe, permanent home. Unlike attorneys and social workers, the CASA volunteer speaks exclusively for the child's best interests.

• Focused Attention: By handling only one or two cases at a time (compared to a social agency caseworker's average load of 60 – 90), the CASA volunteer has the time to explore each assigned case's history thoroughly.
• In-Depth Communication: The volunteer talks with the child, parents, family members, neighbors, school officials, doctors, and others involved in the child's life that may have facts about the case.
• Comprehensive Review: The volunteer reviews all records and documents about the child.
• Court Reporting: They then submit a formal report to the court recommending placement: should the child stay with their parents, be placed in foster care, or be freed for permanent adoption?

If the court leaves the child in temporary care, the CASA volunteer provides continuity by staying on the case until it is resolved and placed in a safe, permanent home.
