In addition to specialized nonprofit and policy organizations, children living in and navigating the foster care system have various advocates including individuals appointed to the child, legal representatives, and caregivers or family advocates.
CASA Advocates provide support that matters, making a life-changing difference through four core roles compassionately provided to their assigned children.
What's the difference between a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) and a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate)? How do they work together within the court system for the benefit of a child? And what will you be responsible for as s a CASA?
If you’ve ever wondered what a CASA volunteer does, or if you have what it takes to become one, here is a clear look at this vital role.
CASA volunteers come from many walks of life; no special degree is required. What matters is the willingness to learn, show up, and advocate for a child's best interests.
