Become a powerful voice in a child’s life.

A CASA volunteer is a dedicated community member who supports children in the child welfare system by making sure their voices are heard. They get to know the child, help the court understand their needs, and advocate for a safe, stable, and loving home. Stand up for an abused or neglected child by becoming a CASA volunteer today!

A little bit goes a long way.

We believe every child deserves a safe and loving home. As a CASA volunteer, your time and influence can help a child as they transition through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Help ease the burden these children are carrying by becoming a CASA volunteer today — because no child should have to carry this alone.
