| How
does your support make a difference?.
Court
Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers are powerful, caring advocates
for more than 280,000 abused and neglected children. CASA volunteers are
appointed by judges to champion the best interests of these children so
that they have a chance to thrive.
What does having a CASA volunteer mean to an abused child?. Imagine
what it would be like to lose your parents, not because of something you
did, because they can't, or won't, take care of you. Now, into your life
come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, social workers, judges,
lawyers, and more. Having a CASA volunteer means having by your side a
trained and committed adult who has been appointed by a judge to watch
over and advocate for your best interests. That volunteer will make sure
you don't get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system
or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They will be there
for you until your case is closed. It can make the difference between dropping
out and completing school, between unemployment and success, between jail
and becoming a productive member of society.
