Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained community volunteers appointed by family court judges to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. They get to know each child and understand their needs while making sure their voice is heard in court.
CASA of the Bluegrass recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who provide consistent advocacy throughout a child's journey through the court system. By gathering information and building relationships, CASA volunteers make recommendations to judges and help ensure every child has someone looking out for their best interests and advocating for a safe and permanent home.
A CASA volunteer serves as an independent advocate for a child involved in the court system, making sure the child's voice, needs, and best interests are represented. They build a relationship with the child, gather information from the people involved in their life, and help the judge make informed decisions.
Spend time getting to know the child and building a trusting relationship.
Build relationships with parents, foster parents, teachers, caseworkers, and others involved in the child's life.
Examine important records, including school, medical, and court documents.
Attend court hearings and provide written reports and recommendations to the judge.
Champion the child's safety, stability, and the best possible permanent home.
Keep the child's best interests at the center of every decision.
Help grow our team of dedicated volunteer advocates by connecting caring community members with the opportunity to make a difference in a child's life. Share our mission, spread the word, and encourage others to become a CASA volunteer.
Prepare volunteers through comprehensive training that builds the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to advocate effectively for children and their best interests.
Provide ongoing guidance, support, and supervision to CASA volunteers. Help volunteers navigate their cases, strengthen their advocacy skills, and ensure every child receives consistent, informed advocacy.
