CASA Volunteer Overview

CASA volunteers support children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect. They get to know the children and give them a voice in the courtroom.

 

Volunteers:

  • Go through an 8-week training process to learn how to be the best advocate for a child. 

  • Spend regular, quality time getting to know their assigned child.

  • Are supported and supervised by CASA team members and work alongside everyone involved in the case.

  • Write objective court reports on the child's safety and well-being to help the judge make important decisions on the child's future.

  • Acts as a consistent adult for the child throughout the child's open case.

  • Volunteers spend on average 4-10 hours a month on their case.

FAQS

What is a CASA Volunteer?

A CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, is a trained community volunteer. They are sworn in as a "friend of the Court" and are appointed by our local Judge, at his/her discretion, to represent the best interest of a child and help ensure a child's voice isn't lost in court. They are trained, assigned a case, supervised by CASA of Rock County program staff, and become stable adult figures in the eyes of the child.
