Our Vision: A CASA for every child.
What Is a CASA?
When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help them. That volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate®, or CASA. CASA volunteers are screened and highly trained and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child’s best interests in the child protection system. CASA volunteers are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need.
Great Plains CASA for Kids provides valuable volunteer advocacy for every abused child in Deaf Smith, Bailey, Castro, Oldham, and Parmer counties. CASA volunteers serve as the “eyes and ears” for the judge in child welfare cases.
GIVE THEM A VOICE
By becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA volunteer, you can help provide a voice for children who have been abused or neglected. Speak up for a child who needs you!
