ROLE OF A CASA VOLUNTEER:

Volunteers get to know the child by meeting with them at least once a week.

Volunteers identify the child’s needs by gathering information from teachers, parents, service providers and other persons of support.

Volunteers report their observations and recommendations to the Judge in every court hearing involving the child.

Volunteers are the one, consistent adult present in the life of the child throughout their journey in family court.

Volunteers ensure children are in a safe home, receive proper medical care and have opportunities to be successful in school.
