You can help change the course of a child’s life and give them hope by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA).Trained CASA volunteers act as the voice of abused or neglected children and represent their best interests as court-assigned advocates.
Children with CASA advocates:
- Are more likely to be adopted
- Re-enter the foster system less frequently
- Move from home to home less often
- Have a better chance of staying in touch with siblings
- Are more likely to complete high school and attend college
- Fall prey to violence and drugs less frequently
