They advocate for the child’s
mental, physical, and educational needs, serving as a consistent and trusted presence in a child’s life.
Volunteers spend about 15 hours a month on a case and stay by the child’s side throughout the duration of the case, working to ensure the child’s needs are met. CASA volunteers complete in-depth training provided by the CASA Program and receive
ongoing support and guidance from a CASA Coordinator.
The CASA volunteer models what a safe and nurturing relationship looks like for youth who are experiencing trauma caused by abuse, neglect, and removal and separation from family.
