A CASA is a Court Appointed Special Advocate. This is a volunteer who is a trained community member that is appointed by the judge to provide a voice in court proceedings for abused and neglected children.
What does being a CASA require?A CASA volunteer must successfully complete a minimum of 30 hours of training plus two sessions of court room observation prior to their first case assignment. Each CASA volunteer must spend a minimum of 6 hours per month with the child for whom they are an advocate. In addition to time spent with the child, the volunteer will conduct an investigation to determine what will be a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.
