CASA of Williamson County Texas

CASA volunteers go through the programs screening and training process and are appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child's best interests in the child protection system. CASA then provides coaching and mentorship of the volunteers as they are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need. CASA volunteers serve as the "eyes and ears" for the judge in child welfare cases. This includes researching each child's situation and making objective recommendations to help them reclaim their childhoods from abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers are frequently the only stable presence in these children's lives as they navigate the foster care system.
