The Casa Office is located on the second floor of the old Courthouse. 

Casa stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates - trained volunteers from the community who are appointed by a judge to advocate on a one-to-one basis for a child who has been a victim of abuse or neglect.

What do CASA Volunteers Do?

Casa volunteers are ordinary citizens who are committed to the concept that every child has the right to a safe and permanent home. after undergoing a certified training course, volunteers:

• Get to know individual children.
• Talk to parents and family.
• Attend court hearings.
• Interact with attorneys.
• Meet with social workers.
• Review Records.
• Talk with teachers.

After exploring the history of an individual child, a CASA volunteers makes recommendations to the judge regarding the child's best interests. Unlike other players in the judicial process, CASA volunteers remain assigned to a child for the life of a case. Sometimes, CASA volunteers are the only consistent presence in a child's life during a confusing and tumultuous time.
