Become A Volunteer Advocate

What Does a Volunteer Advocate Do?

CASA volunteers are ordinary people just like you.  They come from all walks of life, just like the children in foster care they help.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer gathers information from everyone involved in a child’s daily life, including members of the child’s family, foster parents, teachers, lawyers, social workers and other relevant individuals.

Then, they report to a judge to advocate for the child’s best interests.

Ideally, CASA volunteers will work towards reuniting the child with their family of origin whenever safe, and if reunification is not possible, they may recommend placing the child with extended family or family friends.
