The Role of a CASA Volunteer
A CASA volunteer is an individual who is at least 21 years of age, has successfully passed the application and screening process, is trained by the program, sworn-in as a CASA volunteer by the Judge, and appointed by the court to advocate for children who enter the court system as a result of abuse or neglect. The CASA volunteer respects a child's inherent right to grow up with dignity in a safe environment that meets the child's best interest, and advocates in court for the child's best interest at every stage of the case once appointed by the court. CASA volunteers are recruited without regard to race, gender, handicap, or age. The sole qualification for volunteer recruitment is the individual's suitability to perform the CASA role.
