Become A CASA Volunteer TODAY!!


You can't control where a child comes from but you can impact where they end up.  You don't have to be a lawyer or social worker to be a volunteer.  We're simply looking for people with a desire to help abused and neglected children. Volunteer with the Wayne County Court Appointed Special Advocates, today!

 

What does a CASA Volunteer do?

 

When a CASA volunteer is appointed to a child's case, he or she is responsible for taking time to find out about the child.  CASA volunteers search for information. They review records, interview parents, talk to teachers, neighbors, and most importantly, the child.  These volunteers appear in court to offer recommendations to the jurist regarding what is in the best interest of the child.
