CASA ADVOCACY

What is the CASA Advocacy program?

Casakids’ C.A.S.A. Advocacy program is built around giving children in the court system a dedicated voice during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Our trained volunteers step in to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect, making sure their needs are seen, heard, and prioritized.

By building consistent, one-on-one relationships, volunteers help bring stability and support while working toward safe, permanent outcomes for each child.

These advocates take an active role in the process by gathering important information, attending court hearings, and working closely with everyone involved in the child’s case.

Their insight helps the court better understand what each child truly needs, beyond just paperwork and reports.

At its heart, the C.A.S.A. Advocacy program is about making sure no child has to face the system alone—and that every child has someone standing up for their safety, well-being, and future.
