Through trained Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers, the organization provides each child with a consistent, caring adult who serves as their voice throughout the life of the case. Volunteers are appointed by a judge to gather information, build relationships with the child and those involved in their life, monitor services, and make objective recommendations that help the court make informed decisions focused on the child's safety, well-being, and long-term permanency. CASA of Gage County recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children from the time they enter the court system until they achieve a safe, permanent home. In addition to child advocacy, the organization works to educate the community about child abuse prevention, strengthen local partnerships, and connect children and families with resources that promote stability and success. Every child deserves to be safe, heard, and supported, and CASA volunteers help ensure no child has to navigate the court system alone. Read More...
