CASA For Kids
Mission
The mission of the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA For Kids) is to bring permanency as quickly as possible for children in the court system. It is our primary intent to advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected, and exploited children through the use of screened, trained community volunteers, community education projects, and federal and state legislation.
COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES
Our volunteers and staff are dedicated to the well-being of children who are victims of abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to speak to the best interest of children in civil abuse and neglect proceedings and to ensure the needs of children are met in an overburdened foster care system.
CASA volunteers and staff do this by getting to know the child/children, meeting with parents, family members, caregivers, attorneys, case workers, counselors, teachers, police officers, and anyone else involved with the child/children.
Our volunteers can be a bridge of communication between family, caregivers, and providers.
We understand that this can be a difficult and confusing time for the children. That is why we remain appointed and dedicated to the child/children until the case is dismissed from the court's docket when permanency has been achieved.
FRIENDS OF CASA
CASA For Kids is always in need of dedicated volunteers beyond our advocates. If you are unable to serve as an advocate for a child, there are still many meaningful ways to contribute. We welcome individuals who can assist with fundraising efforts, event planning, volunteer recruitment, administrative tasks, and more. Your support in these areas helps ensure that we can continue advocating for children in need. No matter your skill set or availability, there is a place for you to make a difference with CASA For Kids!
COMMUNITY AWARENESS
Our staff actively engages in community outreach and prevention programs to educate the public on important issues related to foster care. Through workshops, presentations, and partnerships with local organizations, we strive to raise awareness and advocate for the well-being of children in the foster system. While these are two of the primary services we provide, CASA For Kids is continuously evolving and seeking new ways to serve our community. Whether through new programs, expanded resources, or innovative partnerships, our mission is to create a lasting impact in the lives of children and families who need support the most. We welcome collaboration and new ideas to strengthen our efforts and further our reach.
