What
is CASA Volunteer?
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Weld County is a
program which trains volunteers to intervene on behalf of abused
and neglected children. The
court system can be a confusing and frightening experience for
abused and neglected children.
Often children feel that their voices are lost.
CASA
volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused and
neglected children in court. This means that, despite the circumstances that bring them
into court, CASA’s work diligently to figure out where
children should be permanently.
This could mean they go back to live with their parents
once their parents learn how to provide them with safe, loving
homes. Permanent
placement could also mean living with a relative, or being
adopted into another family.
Who
are CASA Volunteers?
CASA’s
are ordinary people with extraordinary hearts for children
ranging in age from 21 to 85.
It takes just one adult to make a difference in the life
of a child. Our
vision is for every child to be able to say “my life is better
because a stranger cared.”
