The Court Appointed Special Advocate Program (CASA) of the Family Court is expanding its efforts to represent the interests of abused and neglected children in court. The program is seeking qualified adults to serve as CASA volunteers.

CASA Volunteer is a Court Appointed Special Advocate, who is appointed by a judge to serve as the ongoing link, the “advocate”, for an abused or neglected child during their time within the Family Court dependency system.

1981 seems like a long time ago. In that year Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married, President Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt, and the Voyager II Spacecraft passed Saturn. The outcry for the implementation of child advocacy programs, like CASA, rang out across the states.
