Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County

Description

Every year more than half a million children who have experienced abuse or neglect are in need of safe, permanent homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child is placed into a safe home where he/she can thrive. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every child who has experienced abuse or neglect.
