A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer who is appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interest of an abused, neglected, or abandoned child in juvenile court proceedings.

The CASA volunteer gathers information about the child’s situation, attends court hearings on the child’s behalf, makes recommendations to the judge regarding decisions about the child’s future, and attempts to find “forever families” for each child.

The CASA volunteer advocates for the safety, permanence, and well-being of each child.
