CASA provides quality court-based advocacy for abused and neglected children. Children are referred to our program from a variety of sources including the juvenile court judges, attorneys, caseworkers, service providers, teachers and family members.
CASA volunteers are matched to a case where their skills and training will benefit the children most. CASA volunteers work to get their child’s court case expedited in addition to helping the child they’re working with find permanency sooner.
Here at CASA SHaW, we have a successful Traveling Tutor Program where CASA volunteers are able to tutor foster care children with their academic studies.
When foster children go to school, it is supposed to be a safe haven for them. However, these children have been through mental and/or physical trauma that stay with them during the school day. Due to this, it is even more of a challenge to effectively learn in class. That's why we are here to help!
