What We Do
CASA volunteers are community members advocating for the best interest of children involved in the child welfare system.
An CASA volunteer strives to:
• Identify and assess risks to the child’s safety and well-being.
• Identify supportive people in the child’s life that ICAB volunteers can work with to promote safety and well-being for the child during their time in the child welfare system.
• Help ensure appropriate physical and mental health assessments are completed and that the child’s needs are understood by the family and everyone involved in the case through a trauma-informed approach, and
• Verify educational assessments are completed and educational supports are in place.
