WHAT IS CASA?
 A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer
is a trained citizen who is appointed by a judge
to represent the best interests of a child in court. 
Most of the children are victims of abuse and neglect.

CASA volunteers serve as the "eyes and ears" of the juvenile courts
ensuring that abused children are expedited through the system
into safe and permanent homes. It is the goal of CASA for Children to provide
a voice for every abused child in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro.
 
 
A safe permanant home isn't something a child should only dream about...
