Helping Hands

Get Involved.

When a family is in crisis and becomes

involved in the child welfare system, a

CASA volunteer may be appointed by a

Judge to advocate for the child.   This

highly trained volunteer is someone from

the child's community whose responsibility

it is to get to know the child and their

family and advocate for their safety,

permanency and well-being under the

protection of the Courts.
