CASA volunteers are appointed as guardian ad litem by the Court to advocate for best interest of a child (or case of children) removed from the home due to abuse and placed in state custody through a child welfare court case. CASA volunteers are trained community members who speak up, advocating within the system for the child. It requires patience, communication, writing and caring.
