Become a CASA Volunteer: Change a Child's Story
Make a lasting difference in a child’s life by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer. With just 2–4 hours a week, you can provide stability, hope, and a consistent voice for a child who has experienced abuse or neglect.
CASA volunteers are everyday people who offer caring support during a time of uncertainty. By building a relationship with the child they serve, they help the court understand the child’s needs and best interests.
Your advocacy can help keep siblings together, connect children to needed services, and support safe, permanent homes where children can thrive.
Advocate's Role
A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer is a trained, court-appointed voice for a child in foster care. Advocates get to know the child’s situation, gather information from teachers, caregivers, and professionals, and share recommendations with the court to help ensure the child’s best interests are represented.
CASA volunteers provide consistency, care, and advocacy during a critical time—helping children move toward safe, permanent, and loving homes.
With just a few hours a week, you can make a life-changing difference for a child who needs someone in their corner.
Advocates for abused and neglected children
Advocates for the Child's Best Interests-CASA volunteers gather information from teachers, social workers, family members, and others involved in the child's life to provide well-informed recommendations to the court.​
Acts as the Eyes and Ears of the Court- By observing and documenting the child's situation, CASA volunteers help judges make decisions that prioritize the child's safety and well-being.
Provides Stability and Consistency- In a system where caseworkers and placements often change, a CASA volunteer is frequently the one steady, consistent adult a child can rely on
Be A Voice for a child in need.
It isn’t always easy being a child, but for children in foster care, those challenges are magnified by uncertainty, instability, and difficult transitions—often without the presence of a consistent, caring adult in their lives. That’s where CASA volunteers step in. A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) provides steady support by getting to know the child, staying involved in their case, and speaking up in court to ensure their needs and best interests are clearly represented. They don’t replace parents or caseworkers—they become a trusted, consistent voice focused solely on what is best for that child. Will you be the person a child in foster care can count on when everything else feels uncertain?
