Why is a CASA needed?
Because every child deserves someone who stays.
The child welfare system moves quickly. Caseworkers may change. Placements can change. Schools, service providers, attorneys, and even the people making decisions may change throughout a child’s case.
A CASA volunteer can be the one consistent person through it all.
CASAs take the time to know the child, understand their needs, follow their story, and make sure important information does not get lost as circumstances change.
In a system that is constantly moving, a CASA provides something every child deserves:
a steady voice, a familiar face, and someone who keeps showing up.
