\n A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained\, dedicated and caring community volunteer\, who is assigned to work one-on-one with a child in the foster care system. CASAs are swor n in by a dependency court judge to advocate for what is in the child’s be st interest. With legal standing to fully investigate a child’s circumstan ces\, CASAs make recommendations to the court regarding how the system and community can best serve and support the child. Our volunteers have the a bility to broadly influence the life of a foster child by advocating acros s many important life issues\, including permanent placement\, health care \, education\, mental health and enrichment activities.\n
\n\n Our mo st significant accomplishments happen every day – when an overlooked oppor tunity is found\, a service is secured or an adult connection is made that will help keep a child safe and give him or her an opportunity to succeed .
