Who Are CASA Volunteers?
Last year, more than 76,000 CASA and guardian ad litem (GAL) volunteers helped more than 251,000 abused and neglected children find safe, permanent homes. CASA/GAL volunteers are everyday citizens who have undergone screening and training with their local CASA/GAL program .Who Are the Children CASA/GAL Volunteers Help?
Judges appoint CASA volunteers to represent the best interests of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Each year, more than 600,000 children experience foster care in this country. Because there are not enough CASA/GAL volunteers to represent all of the children in care, judges typically assign CASA /GAL volunteers to their most difficult cases.
Last year FOCUS/CASA served 75 children in the Martinsville-Henry County and Patrick County Juvenile and Domestic Courts. We are advocates for the child and Speak Up for Children that cannot Speak for Themselves. I AM A Voice of A Child! Please join us in making a difference in the life of our children.
