CASA-CAN volunteer youth living room

WHAT IS A CASA?

Court Appointed Special Advocates® (CASA) are community volunteers, just like you, who stand up and speak out to help abused and neglected children. Through best-interest advocacy, CASA programs and volunteers make a life-changing difference for our community's most vulnerable children.

CASA-CAN MISSION

Since 1981, CASA-CAN has been advocating for abused or neglected children in child abuse proceedings. Our mission is to recruit, train, and support volunteers who assist the courts to protect the rights and best interests of local children, so they can be safe and have an opportunity to thrive.
