What is CASA?

CASA volunteers appointed by judges to speak up for abused and neglected children. They work, with confidence, as thoroughly trained advocates for the children they represent.

Volunteers investigate a child’s history, facilitate communication between concerned adults, advocate for services and appropriate placement, and ultimately make recommendations – to the judge – in that child’s best interest.

CASA volunteers come from all walks of life. A willingness to listen, concern for children in your community, and determination are all qualities that would make you a valuable volunteer.

We are seeking volunteers from all cultures, professions, ethnic and educational backgrounds.

Though different in many ways, CASA volunteers have one thing in common…they come forward to make a difference in the life of a child.

There are currently 33 CASA programs in counties and Tribal courts across Washington:

• 2 programs (in King and Benton counties) represent children involved in custody matters

• 2 programs, located on the Spokane Tribal Reservation and the Yakama Nation that serve Native American children

• 29 programs in counties across the state that advocate for abused and neglected children in dependency court
