Chelan- Douglas County CASAGAL

CASAs are professionally-trained volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children both in and out of court. CASAs are instrumental in ensuring the system designed to protect child victims works effectively. Their advocacy helps resolve the case in a timely manner and ensures the child's best interests are considered at every decision point during the case. CASAs bring the community perspective and standard into dependency proceedings, thus contributing to the court's desire to operate openly and fairly. Utilizing trained, culturally-competent, supervised volunteers, the CASA model leverages scarce public resources and provides high-quality advocacy for the needs of children and youth.

Miscellaneous events and activity: Adoption Day, Community-based training, Hike for a Cause, Legislative advocacy, and scholarship awards.
