CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are committed to doing what is best for a child. The volunteers help by providing an extra set of eyes and ears for the court and child welfare agencies. After gathering the information, CASA volunteers provide the court with the information by way of a report that speaks to what is in the child's best interest.
CASA volunteers are actively involved in their assigned cases, adopting roles that include not only advocacy, but also frequent contact with the children and caregivers, and coordination and involvement with involved parties (including schools, law enforcement, psychologists, foster and biological parents, caseworkers, counselors, case managers and the State's Attorney's office). Every CASA volunteer makes a difference in the lives of the children they choose to advocate for. Join us today, and speak up for a child.
CASA is excited about the diversity that each volunteer brings to our program. We hope to have volunteers of different races, ethnicities, national origins, religions, economic status, sexual orientation, ages, gender, and individuals with disabilities and those who have served our county working together to help children who have been victims of child abuse and neglect. Together as a community we can make a difference for these children and help stop child abuse in the process.
