Texas CASA Supports Local Programs
Texas CASA offers leadership and support to local programs in a variety of ways: through training and technical assistance, advocacy and grants and resource development. Texas Court Appointed Special Advocates® and its 69 local programs of the Texas CASA network work to ensure that every child who needs an advocate to speak for his or her best interests before the courts has a caring, trained adult to help them with this difficult period of his or her life.
What A CASA Volunteer Does
CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and speak up for abused and neglected children to make sure they don't get lost in the overburdened legal and social service systems or languish in the foster care system. CASA volunteers stay with each child until he or she is placed in a safe, permanent home and the case is closed. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer is the one constant in their lives and often, the one adult who cares only for them.
