Court Appointed Special Advocates

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a national organization in the United States that supports and promotes the use of trained volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge and are responsible for gathering information, maintaining contact with the child, and providing recommendations to the court based on the child’s best interests while also considering the child’s expressed wishes.
