What exactly does a CASA volunteer do?
CASA volunteers are assigned to an abuse or neglect
case by a judge. They conduct thorough research on the background
of the case, reviewing documents, interviewing everyone involved,
including the child. They make reports to the court, recommending
what they believe is best for the child, providing the judge with
information that will help her make an informed decision.
CASA volunteers are instrumental in assuring that
a child or family receives services which the court has ordered
- things like substance abuse counseling or special education testing.
During the life of a case, a CASA volunteer monitors the child's
situation to make sure he remains safe. CASA volunteers may be
the only constant the child knows as she moves through the labyrinth
of the child welfare system.
