What We Do
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for Douglas County is a nonprofit organization that trains, inspires, and empowers Volunteer Advocates to improve the lives of children that have been abused and neglected. CASA Volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for those children. The desired result is that children can be placed in safe, loving homes and thus increase their potential to thrive. Volunteer Advocates visit with the child monthly, attend and participate in monthly meetings with case professionals, attend periodic court hearings, and advocate for services that amplify the voice of the child to ensuring their wants and needs are heard in order to help them thrive.
Interesting Info
- There are over 100 children waiting for a Volunteer Advocate to amplify their voice in the court system.
- Children assigned a CASA Volunteer Advocate are half as likely to re-enter the foster care system as those without one.
